In my case I donate only to charities that are reputable ones. The first thing I do is to ensure that they do have a well deserved background so I won't regret if I would donate a portion of my piece to them. On the other hand, when donating it's not all about monetary donation as they are different types of donation where you can still share to others. The last time I've donated I consider to make a car donation to a non-profit organization car donation program. The program of Wheels For Wishes benefits your local Make A Wish Foundation and since I like children and love to help them I chose them for they grant wishes to children who have life threatening conditions. My only advise to those who want to donate always be mindful and never ever forget to double check their background so your donation will go to the right people.
