What charities do you guys donate to?

[Martinus]

If I were going to give more to charity I would really like to give to the local homeless shelter.  It's not a hip or sexy cause, but those are people who really need it.

Considering it's sometimes very hard to tell a homeless person from a hipster, you may be failing there...

Donations of money to [snip] Access Justice (an organization that provides legal services to people who cannot afford lawyers)

Donations of time to Access Justice

That's like a CEO of a tobacco manufacturer donating money to lung cancer prevention foundation.

Is it? I see it has marketing.

Yeah, I give up thousands of dollars in billable time to help people who cant afford to pay for legal assistance.  I am evil incarnate.  The Martinus gift for analogy strikes again!

C'mon, it's Martinus.  He's such a polock, when somebody mentions pro bono, he's thinking about The Joshua Tree album.

I feel rather bad.  I do not give any significant sums to charity.  If someone comes to my office collecting for something or another I'll give them $20, but that's about it.

Same. Last time I gave money away it was in a collection for a guy in the office who had to move into a shelter as a result of Sandy.

That was only a couple months ago. Last time I gave money away it was for Haitian earthquake relief.

I just directed another corporate donation to the Red Cross.  Yep, I'm a pretty great person.

I got a very clever March of Dimes solicitation with a dime in a see-through envelope window.  I pocketed the dime and tossed the letter.

How the hell did I end up on their mailing list?

Just today I dropped $100 into a card for a co-worker who broke his leg and is going to miss at least 6 months of work, maybe more.

My donation was $1,000, so I'm a kinder and more caring individual than you are.

I give away about 5% of my net income to varying causes. I think the biggest are Amnesty, Greenpeace, a national fund that helps refugees and Cancer research.
When the government cuts back on foreign aid and such I make a point of upping mine by the same percentage. I kinda hope they stop doing that.

My $100 was straight out of my bank account and went to a guy I know, which is always more heartfelt and significant than your anonymous, faceless transfer of likely ill-gotten corporate funds.

Using your giving to show how holy you are?   

On another note, anybody out there use kiva.org?  I've liked dealing with them for micro-lending.
