My mom used to donate to a couple of charities that meant something special to her. Couple of times a year she'd ask if I thought she was doing the "right" thing. I still believe in what I used to tell her. There are sooo many charities out there pick the ones that mean something to you. I would add a caveat to that now to suggest researching the charity to make sure the money is actually going to those in need, not lining the pockets of the administrators. We can save every needy person or critter in the world. Most folks I know also don't have huge amounts to donate. I see nothing wrong with donating to a group that helps a cause close to your own heart.
