Just curious. me personally, I donate to children's leukemia and also animal causes.
 
Yes, I do, in the form of physical items and monetarily.
 
I usually donate to all good causes. For instance I make sure I drop a buck or two in the bucket for the Salvation Army during Christmas. Someone needs it more than I do I figure, and I know its legit and not a scam.

I have donated to a few animal causes, but I am wee bit leary of the children's causes as some have turned out to be scams and in the end I feel even worse for the children who were exploited for someone's personal benfit.

Also a word of the wise - never hand money out to a pandhandler - some of them have turned out to be come ons. One man was fined for panhandling near a free way exit and as the cops patted him down for weapons - he found a wad of $500 cash in the mans pocket and yet the man had a sign that read - "Will work for food." And he was wearing dirty tattered clothes. He was just playing the part and he told the cop he was making more panhandling than he ever could actually working a real job. So as pitiful as they look - I no longer give to panhandlers.
 
Yes I sure do, the last time I donate was about a little girl who needs a transplants also every year I donate to hungry children program and salvation army. Anything for the children..I also donate foods for homeless familes at my children's school.
 
I would donate to children's causes but would use the hospital's charity groups. Wouldnt want to get scammed.
 
I donate to children, animal and third world causes.

In my state, every Good Friday we'll have a live fundraising for the Children Hospital and I'd donate.

Every month I sponsor a cat and in that way, I donate.
 
Yes, I give regularly to several groups, and also for special individual needs and events. I donate money, products, sponsorships, and services.

That poll is too limited, so I can't vote.
 
I agree, Reba, the poll is too limited.

What I watch for is if a child needs help, see what part of town his or her family lives in and what the parents do for a living. Many of the "causes" are just fundraisers, when in reality the parents insurance can cover it. So, in that case, based on the parents income, I don't contribute to them.

I donate to the Red Kettle (Salvation Army) when I can, because they helped me out a few years ago. Plus, they're pretty legitimate, whereas many of the other ones are not, especially some of the Christian ministries that are on television, always fundraising for "those poor people." Maybe it's real, but when I hear reports of various televangelists driving cars that have six figure price tags, my wallet is closed.
 
I donate to charity from time to time, but I'm picky about who I donate to because some keep 95% of what they get.
 
no matter for me!

i would love to donate charity for any types million what really needs!

but i wanted to raise awareness of stroke funds to honour my Grandma who passed away last July 2006 but im really wanted it and i would like to have heart funds to honour my late grandfather who had 2 heart attack for three decades but im really wanted to support funds both if my parents dont mind!

Yes I do donate to charities. Mostly children and animals that I donates and also some others such as heart foundation, cancer charity, breast cancer, etc. At work, every friday we wears casual clothes and donate gold coins for various charities. Christmas time, I buy a gift for a disadvantage children's christmas tree at a shopping centre. :)
 
I donated ophan children's home for Xmas gifts every 1st week of December in every year.

Sometimes I donated animals and homeless... with clothes, toys, etc. cats and dogs foods...

We went to Zoo every year to support them with foods...
