IL — LMAO…Like a dumbass I had to look that one up…Oh what a sheltered life I must live…
And whats more scary is the fact that something like that exists!
Thanks for the great suggestions everyone.
Generally, I would prefer to donate to groups that don?t have religious affiliations, as they usually push an agenda I don?t particularly agree with.
Merlin ? I?ll donate as soon as I finish paying off my outstanding tuition balance.
Jaystyles ? Thanks to deductions for tuition and education allowance, I will be paying about nine dollars in tax this year. Hahaha, that?s right, subsidize my student ass.
Zeb ? I have done volunteer work before, but right now I?m working full-time and going to school, so time isn?t something I have much of right now.
I?m going to try and donate to 3 or 4 different organizations this year, as for time, maybe in the summer.
Right now I?m looking at the david suzuki foundation, sierra club, wwf, terry fox foundation, child find canada, and children?s wish foundation.
I want to make sure that most of the money goes to where it was supposed to, not spent on administration.
Thanks again.
I volunteer at BigBrother/BigSister
and donate to Nat’l Epilepsy Foundation and various homeless organizations.
Everyone should keep in mind: the best way to improve things is to actually go and try to change whatever the root cause of the problem is. Unfortunately, it takes balls, time, commitment and persistence. Tough for many of us to do on a regular basis. May also require deep knowledge of the law/being a lawyer or many political or media connections.
The second best way is to make a lot of money and thus have a lot of money to donate to people and groups who actually possess the aforementioned qualitites.
I’ve been reading a lot of financial advice books, and the thing that blows me away the most, whether itS Allen, Kiyosaki, or Napoleon Hill is that: they all say that if you are blessed with money and wealth that you HAVE to give 10% MINIMUM to charity, and no, not for tax reasons. For karma mainly and because it is the right thing to do. PACs and political groups don’t count!
Do the right thing. Word
