Yes. I'd rather donate directly to organizations with a real interest in making every dollar count, instead of paying ever-higher taxes for the government to run the same programs with 90% less efficiency.

Specifically? I donate to organizations that help family members of policemen killed in the line of duty.

I donate to Goodwill every year. Mostly old clothes & stuff. It's great because at the place we donate, they just sign, date and hand you a blank reciept every time you drop something off. Makes filing my taxes a whole lot easier every year ;)

united way, salvation army, fund for the arts, hospice.

you wouldn't believe the kinds of services hospice offers:
free medicine, free in home care, free hospital bed, free counseling/pastor for those grieving, free nurse...and it goes on and on and on.

I donate blood every 56 days.
I donate my time every Sunday at the hospital rather than sit through a boring church service. Yeah I'm a bad Protestant :p

I'd say living the good word beats hearing it, myself :) and kudos for the blood donations.
