If you came into a serious amount of money, would you honestly give any to charity?

Question

Be brutally honest

I know I would

Answer 1

Yes because I give to them now.   Plus you will need a tax break!!!

Answer 2

I would give a little, but i might be more inclined to send cash anomymously to folks in need, than deal with any given charity

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Charity begins at home.

Answer 5

Yes becauce i already give to a charity and i would'nt stop just because i got alot of money.

Answer 6

I wouldn't see any harm in giving some of it to charity if its a real large amount. But i'd probably focus on paying off debts and taking care of every one in the family first, which in a way is charity work.

Answer 7

Without a doubt at least 10%,,,

Answer 8

I would, only because I have been in the situation where I have needed help from charites. I need to see where the money is gong though.

Answer 9

Yes and I would be happy I could do it !

Answer 10

sorry i wouldnt

Answer 11

depends how much money but if were talking lots then yes i definitely would donate a fair sum

Answer 12

Certainly....its nice to give as well as to receive.

Answer 13

Yes, I would give to charity.

Answer 14

Yes.

The Lifeboat service. They get no state funding and yet we are an island.

Answer 15

Yes. The only charity I give to is the R.S.P.C.A. (Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and I would give some money to them.

In my will, I've left everything to my ex hubby, who I'm good friends with still, but if he dies before me, the second in line to get all my money etc. is the R.S.P.C.A.

That should leave a few cranky rellies. lol

Answer 16

Honestly,yes. I already give  to my church and other charities, so all see is the amount going up.  If you believe in helping others then you will do what you feel is best for yourself.  I would definitely do more to help those in need.

Answer 17

Yes honestly.

Answer 18

i honestly would, i have a couple of charities that i donate small amounts to., but it would be good to make a real difference. i would be able to enjoy my winnings without feeling guilty

Answer 19

Definitely and I would also place a certain amount of it in the bank so that the interest could continually be taken off and used to benefit preferred charities, instead of being given in one go.

Answer 20

not one penny

Answer 21

Yes. I do now & I don't have much.

Answer 22

I would make sure that me and my family were ok first, then give a little of it to a charity that meant something to me.

Answer 23

yes.

Answer 24

Yes, I would. But honestly, it wouldn't be the first thing on my list.  So, after my transatlantic cruise, moving into a bigger house, breaking in the new car and upon arriving home from a month at a spa....I'd write out a couple of big fat checks for my favorite causes.

Answer 25

Yes, I would. I give money to charity even now - just a little now and then when I can and I certainly don't have 'serious money'.

Answer 26

If it was a huge amount I'd prefer to start my own charity.

Answer 27

If you believe in a special charity I would. I just became a member of R.O.A.R. to help stop animal abuse, cause I know they really help these pets that are abused and cant change there life them self.

Answer 28

I am a Life Governor of the R.N.L.I., an Organisation where people risk their own lives to save others.

At 70 I cannot offer physical help so I would certainly want to support my chosen Charity with a monetary donation.

If it were a large enough windfall, I'd like to buy a new lifeboat.

How much better than leaving it all for the kids to spend on wild parties and globe-trotting?

Answer 29

No, at least not until I made sure my family was well taken care of.

Answer 30

Of course. I don't have much now but I give every chance I get. It bothers me to see others with almost nothing.
