Only anonymously mostly because I'm a private person and feel it's not really altruistic if you wan't to make a spectacle about it. I'm sure most people would love to help if they were in the position to.
Not really a fan of the organized charities as a lot of them are run poorly with overpaid admin staff. I like to see exactly where my money is going and know it actually made a difference
Xx,xxx to a group my friend started for veterans with ptsd to go on a "healing trip"
And xx,xxx to some guys family I went to highschool with who died tragically in a work accident while his wife was pregnant with their first born. I did that through a mutual friend though because I didnt want anyone in our friend circle knowing
Its important to support and help people if you can. Not only does it help people but it makes you feel great too, and theres nothing wrong with that
The problem is when people do it for the wrong reasons like youtubers giving homeless people money randomly and recording it to make a video
