WF - Help Me Choose A Charity

[tencentpiece]

For December I decided to donate 10% of all money made from WF sales to charity, it wasn't as much as I'd like so I am going to up the amount to a flat $1,000. Since you guys spent the money, you can help choose where it goes.

Some rules:

No political parties/candidates
Must be a registered charity/non profit

Anything else is fair game. I'll make another thread with a poll once there is a few nominatons.

inb4 'give me the money i am charity LOLOLOLOL' & 'charity is for suckers, why don't they just get a job'.


Also, you might want to check out the charity on charity navigator first to make sure they aren't wasting donations.

Kiva - Loans that change lives - I love this model.

It's not a giving-money-away Charity. But, you can help much more people, repeatedly.

Friends of Amazing Kid's Club

Amazing charity that supports an austim-only after school and summer program for those with autism from ages 2 to 22. My daughter has been there since she was 2 and it has done wonders for her. They are always gracious for donations, and the money directly goes to helping the children get out and get socialized in the world through outings.

If you're a US citizen I'd donate it to Ron Paul.

Split it between Kiva and make a wish

St. Jude's Children Hospital. 4-Star charity on Charity Navigator, as is Make-a-Wish. Both very worthy charities. Much respect for helping out the less fortunate too.

Home - Wounded Warrior Project

MISSION
To honor and empower Wounded Warriors.

VISION
To foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history.

PURPOSE
To raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members.
To help injured service members aid and assist each other.
To provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members

Whatever you decide on, even though its extra work, I highly recommend doing some research to find out what they do with your money. There are some very corrupt charities out there. If anyone from MADD ever calls you asking for a donation, tell them to go fuck themselves.
