Where to donate money to this Christmas?

[Kenji4861]

Are there any popular donation areas for Christmas other than Toys for Tots?

Thanks for any suggestions.

The children's hospitals you donate to through Child's Play are all nonprofits, so your money is fully deductible whether you shop for toys or send money to Child's Play itself. (Like any other donation this assumes you itemize instead of taking the standard deduction)

Dollars For Scholars

"Dollars for Scholars®, a program of Scholarship America®, is a national network of more than 1,200 grassroots community-based, volunteer-driven scholarship foundations in cities, towns and neighborhoods throughout the United States. Last year, Dollars for Scholars chapters raised more than $58.3 million, awarded nearly $29 million in scholarships to more than 35,000 students, and invested the remainder primarily in endowment funds for future scholarships."

Really like their policy of investing the donations in endowment funds (as compared to pass-through), and awarding the dividends. I just keep thinking about all the good that those Katrina monatary donations could still be doing if those funds had been invested . . what an inefficient and expoited waste that was!
