What's A Dollar? |
There are so many worthy causes in the world, there's bound to be something that has touched either your life or the lives of your family and friends. When you've been blessed to have the money to give away, it is your duty to do it. But even if you can only give a couple of dollars, the intent with which you give that donation will have more power behind it than a millionaire's large donation. Below are some examples of charities that you should consider. If you are curious just how much of your donation goes to the cause vs. administrative expenses, look up your charity at www.guidestar.org or at the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance. Charity Navigator can also help you to decide the best use of your money.
