I usually check out organizations before giving money, to ensure the money is going where it should. Although I usually prefer charities involving animals, and the parts of our communities and world that can do nothing about their circumstances. I'm not a big believer in charity. I've work in it in South America, and seen how it is often used as a source of cheap/free labor by these organizations, depriving locals of work and therefore money. But I still like Oxfam, Fred Hollows, Amnesty, Greenpeace, Sea Shepard
