The past few years, I've been donating to a charity that focuses on helping children who have cancer. I did a fair amount of research and feel confident that they use the funds better than most charities.
I also look around for local charities and donate a bit for things like sports equipment and whatnot.
Just thought I'd see what others are doing and maybe change it up this year.
I just donate to political organizations that I agree with (small news sites, political parties, people who get persecuted by my government/leftists, etc). That way all the money goes to causes I agree with.
All the leftist bullshit has soured me on charities. Pretty much all of them are just leftist "N"GOs who'll likely end up spending money on things that I at best disagree with or at worst are against my own interests.
These NGO get too much government money as it is anyway and people on the right who oppose the leftist mainstream are worthier recipients.
