What is the Best Charity to Donate to, and why?

(1/2) > >>

Suga Foot:
Just wondering your opinions on the best charity to donate to, and why you think it's the best.

7even:
My favorite is having godchildren. It's a very personal form of donation, and you make a direct impact. If you just donate to some organisation that throws all the money they get in a pot, then do whatever the fuck they want with it, it aint so cool I think.
It's pretty cool to exchange letters with your godchildren and get photos, seeing them grow up basically. You also don't  just donate money then but also help on a social basis. The fact that it's so personal is in favor of both parties, the one that donates and also the one that receives.

Don Seer:
i've no idea really.. it depends upon your personal circumstances and your reasons for doing so.

for example.. i've got several relatives who have very poor eyesight, or are blind. my lil sister works for the blind association.. so thats a cause thats closer to me than others.


the main charitable thing i do conciously is to pass on my old skateboards (and the odd bits if peoples shit breaks) to the younger kids/guys who cant afford them.. when i was their age i struggled to afford skate bits.. so i know they appreciate it. the younguns get through boards fast as they skate a lot more due to school holidays etc. So far this year i've given away two old boards. One to a guy i know who just started at uni and was skating a thrashed ass board when i accidentally bumped into him out of town. (in the city where he's moved for uni). when he came home to here a few weeks later he was still riding the same busted board.. so i hooked him up. this weekend just gone i hooked up another of the local kids who is progressing well, but tearing through boards at quite a rate. a few months ago i also gave the same kid an old truck baseplate that i luckily had hanging around when he snapped his.. so i've saved this kid $100 at least this year.. i've still got one old board of mine left in the car for someone deserving.. and i've also got another in the car.. thats not mine, but is free to give away on the condition it goes to a certain group of local skaters when they need one.

Jip:
i have this rule

if someone is going round with one of those money boxes, and they look legit

ill empty my pocket of all the loose change i have in there

the most i ever gave was like £5 in change

back to the original question, i think cancer research is a good one, for some reason i think ill get it at one point in my life

J Bananas:
why not just help the ppl around u? buy a girlfriend lunch or some shades or somethin, buy some groceries or a gift for your mom. if u look at it like charity and not trying to get something it will go pretty far with the ppl that are close to you. or shit, i dont know. sponsor one of kains relatives for .80 cents a day.
