If you don't think you can donate anymore because of what you call intolerance then don't donate they won't miss your handful of change. Donate to somebody who you agree with if that makes you feel better.
For example, I would never donate to Greenpeace or some other left-leaning organization but I could always donate to the SPCA or other such organizations that help animals. It's a politically neutral organization.
I would never donate to the Red Cross because the CEO does not need to make $1,000,000 a year in salary and benefits which is actually worse than what I thought it was, I was thinking more along the lines of $400,000 but according to Snopes it's $1,000,000+ and claim to be 92% efficient which I find hard to believe. SA administrator gets $126,000 and are 82% efficient. |
Appreciate the thoughtful comments and insight.
I thought of the Humane Society - but our local chapter has major issues lately...namely their outrageously high euthanasia rate despite the ton of funding they receive annually. Their CEO is approaching the six-figure salary range and there's been a huge public outcry about the dismal mismanagement of the organization lately.
The wife and I talked this year of canceling our entire gift exchange between us next year in favour of spending what we normally would on a local needy family. She's suggested an abused women's shelter...or I might talk with a few co-workers at City Hall and see if they know of a local family that could genuinely use the help.
