Favorite Charities and How Much Do You Set Aside?

I'm not trying to start a pissing contest. I'd prefer to use percentages instead of raw numbers, but I would like to know how common it is for people to donate or volunteer and what charities choose to support.
Personally, I go local. If I'm not really tight on my money that month, i set aside ten percent from each commission that I can donate, Favorite charities are local groups (Buying Spirit Packs for middle school football teams, donating to the radio flyer program at Children's Hospital, local food banks, and if I can't find anything else United Way of Alabama)
I won't lie. I do get some nice marketing out of it as well as making good contacts.
So how do you view charity and donations?

I donate $50-$100 to the National WWII museum every year. My great uncle was in one of the first groups to land at the Battle of Tarawa and he died there. I donated in his honor originally so my grandmother could see her brother honored there, and I have donated at least a little every year since.

ASPCA and World Wildlife Fund,amounts vary, but I give something to each a few times per year. Not into giving to "people" organizations because, for the most part, people suck and can take care of themselves.

$5k a month to the Red Elephant Club. A charity that provides opportunities to disadvantaged 4 and 5 star athletes.
