Do you donate to charity?

Yes, I do donate. I donate to the Lifeline Organisation in my country. I donate to
Guide Dogs Australia, The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation, and I make donations towards helping those in Africa.

I obviously voted "Yes", to your Poll for this Thread.

 

I do! I set about 15€ every month for charity. Generally, I tend to set up my bank account so it automatically transfers that sum to a charity of my choice.

Currently I donate monthly to UNICEF, but I tend to switch every year or so. In the past it was the Red Cross, and before that the WWF (the wildlife fund, not the wrestlers )

On top of that, I try to donate to special charity drives as well.


The way I see it, some of my money was due to sheer luck (luck of being born here, luck of having fairly affluent family, luck of being talented enough to get a good job...), so I have an obligation to share with people who just weren't so lucky.

 

I do donate when I can. I'm pretty hard up on money, so its difficult . I really wish I could donate more.

 

I donate to several charities: the local humane society, public television, food pantry, different cancer funds, and salvation army.

 

Nope, I am a child and have no money. :l

But, future? Maybe...

 

I donate to the local university (gets me access to their library), the robotics program that I'm involved with, and the Free Software Foundation.

And my company has a matching gift program, so everything I donate is dollar for dollar matched!

 

I don't donate money, but I do donate my spare time to help out with abandoned dogs. I've only just started volunteering, but it's very rewarding.

I don't like that donated money goes into the system and sometimes shows no real use. At least by donating my time, I can see the good it's doing for those little dogs to have somebody walk them and show them some love.

 

I don't donate money very often, but I do on occasion. Mostly because I feel like I can't spare the money, though if I planned it out I'm sure I could.

I also much prefer volunteering than just giving my money to people. It shows me that my effort is going to somewhere good - donating money doesn't always do that.

 

I really wish I could donate more as well. One of these days, I know I will be in a situation where I can donate a lot more.

 

I donate to the British Heart Foundation to give something back to research after my life span was returned to normal few years ago following heart surgery to implant a high tech device inside my heart. A family relative was not so fortunate; he died many years ago from the same condition as me when he was just 15 years old. If today’s technology was available years ago then he would have been alive today.

Yeah, I give monthly to a group called Plan, Because Im a Girl that works to educate young girls and women to help break poverty cycles. I also give to Autism Speaks.

 

I dont give money to charity groups. Whenever I see a homeless person, I run to a gas station or fast food, grab food and take it to them. I give them a hug, give them money and the food. I start talking to them, ask them to share their story with me about why they ended up where they are.

 

My time, blood, hair, and bone marrow for Hapa patients.

My favorite opportunity has been assisting in teaching sculpture courses in an urban arts school. Other than that, I've volunteered at hospitals, marathons, schools, blood banks, museums, food banks, and random events that call for volunteers (restoration and food delivery during Hurricane Sandy).

 

I donate my time. I'm currently a big brother at Big Brothers Big Sisters

 

I sponsor a child in Vietnam and have "adopted" several animals through the WWF.

But for some reason, whenever a crisis happens, like the Tsunami or the 'quake in Haiti, I really begrudge giving anything.

 

Not really, once in a while I put my change in those charity boxes they have the mall. A month or so ago I tried donating a little to cancer research uk, but my card was rejected. I would like to at some point.

 

Nope, unfortunately. Living in a single-parent household, I have to save whatever money I can scrap up.

 

Not at the moment, unfortunately. I'm unemployed, carrying student debt, and struggling with depression...so it's not really an option. My parents donate as much as they can scrape together every year, even though are family isn't that well-off.

 

No, I don't give to charity - I just don't trust them enough. Instead, I started my own. I think that counts?
