I prefer to give to women's and children's charities that distribute their efforts and funds within the US, such as: www.stjude .org/ www.rainn .org / , www.amnesty usa.org/ , and www.polarisproject.org/ are a few.

I like to keep things as local as practical...we don't have much around here for the types of charities i like to give to so i give to individuals and families when it's possible. thanks for your response :)

homelessness is a big issue with me - i feel genuine sympathy with the people who're in that position as I can well-imagine being in that spot :(

Thanks Jackie ;)

I volunteer too at homeless shelter - I prefer to give my money where I know it will be used well.

The amnestyusa.org effort is one of a few exceptions to my women and children rule for the human rights efforts they so actively pursue.
