| Busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor  |
As I get older I don't want/need more 'junky', fill-in birthday or Christmas gifts from family and friends so I would like to ask them ahead of time to make a small donation to "x" charity in my name. TIA for any direction to a worthy cause. ________________________________________________________ The trouble with trouble is; it always starts out as fun. | ||

I've given to St. Jude's and the DAV for years. I was getting my hair cut a couple months ago and I can't remember why it was brought up, but the lady that was cutting my hair said her daughter was treated at St. Jude and she wasn't charged a dime. | |||

Local animal shelters; I stay away from the national organizations. What I always hate about giving to charitable organizations is mail spamming you get for the next several years. I once helped a friend on a National Multiple Sclerosis Society fund drive and got bombarded with mail for years begging for money. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

My wife and I help out two elderly residents in Town with heating oil and wood each year in November. (this year will be expensive  )There are charitable causes all around you without having to seek out National Organizations. | |||

I solved that problem. I have a small supply of checks that do not have my address printed on them, just my name. I use these for anything where I do not want to get on a mailing list. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Two great places: 1) St. Jude. You can be somewhat specific where the money goes, such as medical research, hotel/motel costs for families with kids undergoing surgery/therapy, etc. 2) The Gladney Center for Adoption in Fort Worth is a nationally-known and respected agency, and they have a program for donating money to help adoptive parents cover the huge costs of going through the long vetting process. | |||

I suggest Niceville Wrestling Academy. It is a non-profit and every coach is a volunteer. The coaches are all enlisted Green Berets and the students are mostly the children of military members. I think wrestling is the best thing we can do for our youth. If you would like to donate: https://niceville-wrestling-ac....gymdesk.com/page/do Beagle lives matter. ______ (\ / @\_____ / ( ) /O / ( )______/ ///_____/ | |||

Never give to the CFC. Always directly to the specific charity you select. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Don't Panic |
That's your own personal call. There are lots of great charities that do wonderful, efficient work making progress on things that won't float your boat. Not that they're not worthy, but why not target your giving to your own priorities? What you might do is think about what kinds of things you'd like to support, say XYZ, and then see if people know good charities working on XYZ. | |||

My primary charity is for abused women and children. My exwife was horribly abused by her step father. That is one of the reasons she could not remain married. That was a long time ago.

There are some good sites that rate charities. They look at salaries and percentage of donations that are spent on fundraising versus actual works . Charity Navigator is one . | |||
