i dont really trust charities anyway. once you look into how much a charity actually pays out, how much their officers get paid, their "values", who their big whale donors are, how similar a "charity" and "non profits" are to actual for-profit companies, it really takes the joy out of giving
I tend to still give to local charities, but I live in a rural area where everyone basically knows each other to some extent so it's not like I don't know exactly where it's going when I give something to the old sweet grandma I've gossiped with in line at the store when she has a sign advertising a Church collection for providing food for local underprivileged kids or paying off someone's medical bills whose kid I went to school with, etc. etc.
But yeah, I steer clear of anything corporatized. Corporate charities are basically just legal tax evasion organizations.
yea, local charities, small churches, you know your money is going back into the community.
Giant charities are almost 100% garbage. Real charity requires a minimal relationship between giver and receiver. Otherwise it is no different than a government handout.
