My charity donations begin at home and are dispensed by me directly to those in need.

These Organizations should be convicted of money laundering and go to jail.

Interesting though that this list contains many Union Organizations.......equals........Dem's shuffling tax free money from one pocket to the other and their friends.

Notice how many of those are for police, firefighters and veterans? Always check out any organization that claims their mission is to help one or more of those three groups. I gave to Paralyzed Veterans of America for years, until my daughter pointed out how little of the money actually goes to paralyzed veterans. And the CEO of the organization claims to be a paralyzed veteran!

I prefer to give directly to those in need also.

The help they get is 100%, not diluted to less than 2% by organizations who have CEO's making plus a million or more a year, not considering their directors and other leeches...

Thanks for posting, as I've got the same problem that I imagine many of you have. When I see so many needs, I've got too much heart and not enough money. I would love to help so many different organizations, but the funds just aren't there. At least it's good to know where to not waste your help. I love the Wounded Warrior project and I know there are some other great ones. Also, I know we're supposed to help out near our homes. Humility ranks pretty high with God, so I'll let it go for now. Thanks again for the list.

Looks like soliciting for charities is big business.
