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.

Exactly, picking the charity that speaks to you & that gives the money to the needy rather than lining CEO'S pockets is really the important points. I give mostly to horse rescues myself when it comes to charities since I have worked closely with them on a personal basis & know the ones I support. Each person does best when it is something close to their heart
