 Look for Nobel Prize Winners
For some time I was giving to organizations that made donating convenient. They would send nice letters and always provide a tax receipt. After some time I realized most of that money was going to the business that was sending the letters, not the firefighters, nor the police officers. Lesson Learned.
Now I give with more effort and thought. I made a list of issues that where important to me then I began to seek out organizations that were helping in those areas.
Something like this:
1. My Church
2. Nobel Prize Winners
3. Food, Shelter, Clothes, Medicine
4. Cultural Understanding and Tolerance.
5. Nature
6. Music, Art, Science, and Sport.
7. Donation Opportunities of Chance.
I’ve been doing this for a couple of years now. It works for me.
