I have heard that a certain kharma comes with donating a percentage of everything that you make.  I hadn't given this much weight until two years ago.  I was having a really tough time, working two jobs, one of which really took a physical toll from my body.  We were invited to go to a charity benefit and were so moved by the purpose of this benefit that my wife and I pitched a rather large sum of money, compared to what we had at the time.  Within one week i was offered a well-paying job that led to other less-exacting positions.

I donate money to family members in need first and foremost. I feel that family should always come first! I donate my clothes and unwanted items as well. What family members don't want I give to a the Christian Women's Fellowship in my neighborhood. They run a thrift store and all proceeds go to their missions.  :heart:

Yes. Even charity can get you yelled at in this political climate. Every year I put on a show that raises a decent amount of money. We give it to Komen for the Cure.  I got hate mail on facebook/twitter by some people because someone at the foundation said something about planned parenthood.

I used to donate quite a bit to charity but recently I haven't had the money to do so.  I now only support a very few charities but I hope in the future to donate to more to do with children and animals.

I donate money monthly and I do it because my mother encouraged me about how this can bless the ones that the outreach involves. Giving is a blessing and it gives back to you in various ways as well. My mother donated food to a place I lived at when I received care for medical health needs as well. It's always a blessing to give.

Yes, there are organizations that are trying to find cures for diseases and help people be the best they can be.  They cannot do it alone, they need our donations, no matter how small in order to make progress in research.  If everyone gave just one dollar, what a difference that would make in so many lives. :thumbsup:

I try and send something to paralyzed vets mostly because I feel these are soldiers who put their life on the line to keep this nation free, at the cost of losing limbs, etc.
As do I and I do it in the name of my Father may he RIP. He donated each month faithfully and as I cant afford to every month I do when I can. :thumbsup:

I don't donate money because I'm not sure where it's going.  I do donate a lot of toys and clothes

I love to donate clothes and money, but I would like to do more like donating my time to the soup kitchen.

I donate to my church because everything I have is from God, so I give back to his work.
