Name three charities to donate to

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

I was thinking

Médecins Sans Frontières
Water Aid
The Lifeboats

 

[JimMIA]

Personally I prefer to donate to well-established charities who actually deliver services with acceptable overhead. Most, but not all, are local. I do not donate to Go Fund Me campaigns. I have four main categories:

• Our police family, mostly local and some support of national survivors
• Education, especially teacher support
• Sick kids
• Cancer research and treatment

Give Kids the World is also one we support -- not just because of the Disney connection, but mostly because of the great work they do with very sick kids.

We also introduced our local police charity to GKTW years ago. We've donated both stays (for GKTW volunteers) and cash.

Our regular ones:
Samaritan's Purse (always designated to disaster relief)
The Salvation Army (always designated to their excellent local work with the homeless and addicted)
Compassion International (we have a sponsor child in Peru; several really as they keep aging out)

Lots of one-off local and international causes as I become aware of them.

Right now I have the cat-only rescue and shelter where we got our kitty set up as an Amazon charity through their program. It's not that it gives a huge amount to them but if I'm purchasing the item anyways from Amazon it's nice for Amazon to give something to a place just because of that.

During the pandemic food pantry ones were highlighted a lot as there was an increase of food insecurity. A common thing anyways in my area was to bring food cans to places that were collecting them (be it your work, the local amusement park in exchange for a discount ticket, chance to win tickets to something, etc). So not really just one charity but rather your regional food pantries. Harvesters is the largest for my area servicing 26 counties. The news was showcasing just how much the pandemic increased their need. In October they had served/gave away almost 7 million pounds of food which was the most in their history of 40 years.

Shriners

my oldest is a 'shriner's kid'. spectacular organization.

i also am supportive of-

our local chapter of 'honor flight', and

a local independent charity that raises funds and solicits donations of building materials and skilled labor volunteers to do household repairs as well as make accessibility modifications free of charge to veterans in need. in addition they operate a thrift shop that sells to the public but all items are free for vets (as well as the items in the small food pantry inside the shop).
