I know that if there is a cause, there is probably a charity to support it. I want to try and do my part throughout the year and try and help this organizations help others. I'll be giving to the big groups and looking for smaller ones that stay more local. This isn't going to be an exercise in tax write-offs or throwing money at a problem. I want to be able to say I did my part in my own way. I'm going to find a charity every week and donate $10. While this amount doesn't sound like a lot, every little bit should help. I figure I can spare $520 a year. I want to show that people don't have to wait for a disaster to donate.
I want to focus on helping the poor, environment, wildlife, and research.
