Most neutral Charity?

[TechBoyJK]

In your opinion, what is the most respected and politically/religiously neutral charity?

 

[Albatross]

Bill and Melinda`s?

Bill and Melinda`s?

You make it sound like a mom and pop charity.. which is funny when you know what that charity is all about.

Peace Corp? I dunno. I don't pay close attention. I used to give money to American Rivers though.

 

[magomago]

imo no such thing.

at the very least human rights watch and amnesty international are excellent organizations. Their detractors are typically governments and radical zealots...which would make perfect sense. the documents they have published over the years are also excellent

I donate to charities that help people I want to help, without getting so hung up on whether they are agnostic and moderate like me. Christians can do good work, so can Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives.

Besides Child's Play one of the main places I donate to is Northwest Harvest, the major food bank supplier for Washington state. Helping moms feed their kids seems neutral to me.

 

[Schadenfroh]

The Salvation Army

 

[Perknose]

The Human Fund.

 

[Perknose]

Also, the AT Moderators Benevolent Fund. The more you give, the more benevolent we are.

 

[Perknose]

Christians can do good work...

For much needed balance, I give to the Lions.

 

[Broheim]

probably red cross, it's kinda their thing to be neutral.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Red Cross
United Way
Salvation Army
Make a Wish

 

[Numenorean]

[mmntech]

You guys know the Salvation Army is a church, right? Hardly religiously neutral.

They aren't a church.

They don't push religion on people.

They will help anyone in need regardless of political or religious affiliation - how is that not being neutral?

Funny, says they are right on their website.

Funny, no it doesn't:

The Salvation Army is a Christian organisation and part of the universal Christian Church.

It says it is PART of a church. It is not a church itself. Try again.

 

[monk3y]

Unicef

 

[glenn1]

The US Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.

they actively discriminate against gays.

but anyways... I'd say the International Red Cross / Red Crescent.

I guess Make-a-Wish too, but if I had to choose, I'd rather help someone live than help a terminal patient die.

I like Charity Water.

 

[davmat787]

The Human Fund.

This. The only remotely religious event or affiliation the Human Fund could be linked to is Festivus.
