Who do you donate to?

[Lightisnotwhite]

Interested to know who people are charitably giving to these days and why.
I’ve always done a regular small DD donation to MSF after having my baby. It was horrific and I felt dreadful for women who weren’t safety in the first world like I was.
I give an odd bit for Palestine every year because I’m “angry” .
I love dogs and have had a couple of rescue dogs until recently. I now give a bit for a dogs charity that neuters dogs in Europe because it’s better than rehoming what are essentially feral dogs.
I do my local schools lottery because they need funds, as do I.

Interested to see MN trends.

To the shelter that I adopted DCat from and to another shelter that took in the poor kitten I had found on the street when RSCPA refused to take it.

Air Ambulance
Local hospice lottery
Local church
Cancer Research UK
and sponsored events for MND Association

RNLI, Salvation Army, Brain Tumour Research

Local charity called Zarach.
They give bed bundles to children and families in crisis. Children who don’t have beds.

It’s really nice there’s a spread. I always feel sorry for small charities that get no publicity.

I give most of my (worthwhile!) unwanted clothes and other items to The British Heart Foundation, and I give money to the campaign to save the art deco lido in Grange-Over-Sands:

I donate my time: volunteer with BHF and a local community cafe that provides free meals for people in need.

DD for Save the Children, and always give to anyone I know who is fundraising.

RNLI
ASN
Local village trust volunteer service
Local Food bank

through payroll giving, so from gross income then my employer adds 50%

Monthly standing order to NSPCC

Two small animal charities on a regular basis, and then other charities more ad hoc. My local charity shop is Shelter and they get regular donations of goods whenever I have a clear out.

Local cat rescue where my two girlies came from.
Cats protection lottery
WWF
Refuge (£10 pays for an essentials pack for a woman fleeing domestic violence for her first night in a shelter)

Msf, water aid, dogs trust and cancer uk.

Dogs trust because it was my Mums charity and I promised I'd carry it on after she was gone, the other three because I chose them. When I turned 60 I was inundated with charity requests. My way out of the guilt of not giving to everyone was to choose these.

And at xmas, I give to a local charity called firefly. They ferry people with cancer to the nearest city for treatment. They're a godsend.

I sponsor a child, and have done for about 15 years.
I give monthly to WWF, Dogs Trust, Greenpeace and Amnesty International.

We sponsor a young girl via SOS, and donate to the RNLI and to a charity which provides sanpro to women/girls

Macmillan cancer support (My mum a as supported by them)
Trussell Trust and St Mungos (i have a strong sense of social justi ce)
Various animal charities... Dogs Trust, Cats Protection League, local shelter as animal charities get no government suppo yt? Sndc rely on public donations

Lately it's mainly ClientEarth and Fauna & Flora International. Also random others from time to time, like Sightsavesrs.

We donate monthly to Ronald McDonald House....a charity that we have used for a number of weeks over the years. Truly a wonderful charity-it gave us sanity when were on the edge and provided us with a space as a family where we could all be together.
Also GOSH charity, we are forever grateful for their work.

Water Aid and Trussel Trust (uk food banks)

Acts 435, mostly, and presents to the Sally Army at Christmas. V small monthly sums to Sightsavers, Cerebra, CPAG, Save the Children and Amnesty.

I give $500/year to the Australian Conservation Fund - as the name suggests they work on environmental conservation in Australia.

My phone provider lets you donate your unused data to people in need. I'm trying to get them to change how it's done so I can donate more at the end of the month - currently capped at 10GB every 12hrs, which takes days to donate the unused bit of my monthly 80GB. The data goes to various foundations for kids and others in need to use.

Food banks
Clothes banks
Charity shops
Cancer Research
Other charities

I buy food/supplies for the local food bank most weeks. We're in a pretty deprived area in the North East.

One off donations for various charities whenever friends are raising money for them.

Book Aid International. I donate a percentage of the sales from my business. I work in a related field.
