Favorite Charities and How Much Do You Set Aside?
Posted on 8/30/15 at 11:53 pm

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.

600 a year to wounded warriors and ASPCA

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.

35% of everything i make to Food Stamps, Obama phones, free healthcare for the poor, other free shite for the poor, more free shite for the lazy, free steaks and lobsters for needy, etc. I am such a nice person.

Thank you to those who are St Jude supporters. Running the half marathon in December in Memphis and will go right through the campus. The facility is a beautiful one and I was moved to tears on our tour last year before the weekend races.

The Human Fund

Makinbacon, it was a much happier place than I thought it would be. I can't imagine as the mother of 3 needing that place. I'm so glad that I haven't needed their services but I'm terribly glad that it's there for those who do need their help!

Charitable donations are separate from a tithe.
