Question

What are some charities to donate money to?

Answer 1

To have the greatest impact, donate to local organizations such as a county museum or a local women's shelter. While disease research is a noble cause, the government actually provides them with a lot of money in the form of grants to hospital research staff and many of the agencies that collect for them take a healthy cut off the top.

You local United Way office can tell you what percentage of a donation actually goes for the cause.

If you have significant dollars to donate, set up a foundation that only uses the interest each year and leaves the principle alone. that kind of gift keeps on giving and giving. Some scholarship funds are set up that way, too.
