**3rd choice is supposed to say $100 but GameFAQs's shitty coding can't handle normal-ass math symbols smh

I give to Tunnel to Towers >_>

If you're looking for one, look at this site and pick one that interests you, just give to one that has a decent score please.
https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm

(Tunnel to Towers or Doctors Without Borders have some of the highest scores if you want more direct recommendations lol, plus Tunnel to Towers helps fellow 1st responders and their families which is my alignment >_>)

Yes regularly but only animal charities.

ASPCA and WWF.

I know there are good people out there that need help but I can only help so much and I choose animals as I like them way more than people and these two organizations have solid ratings for what they do.

Blue Dragon is a fantastic charity. Helps homeless kids on the streets of Hanoi, builds schools in rural areas to give kids there a chance, fights to bring people back from Cambodia and Thailand that have been sold into the sex trade and gives them legitimate jobs and training and somewhere to live. They do a lot of great work.

Oh my bad, Blue Dragon sounds like it would be the name of some anime t**** gacha game or something and I thought you were making a joke lol. Carry on >_>

Why doesn't the company owning the grocery store donate their own money? They certainly have a lot more than their shoppers do.

that's a good question

usually the solicitors set up outside before people even get into the store for that exact reason

Sometimes i think it's the grocery store chain trying to help itself out with taxes.
Otherwise, i know the local food donations are legit and are given out locally, like the peanut butter drives.

No. I have a hard time trusting charities, not knowing where my money is going. They could say its going to feed the homeless, they could also be lying through their teeth. I would rather help out someone who I know is struggling either financially or otherwise.

Yes, though these contributions along with mortgage interest, state and local taxes are less than the standard deduction so it doesn't affect my taxes.

Sometimes, but I never really have enough to make much of a difference (round up for St Jude or something). I can honestly say that I were ever allowed to keep the money that I earn, then I would be a lot more generous.
