I do donate my time and money to several local charities, but what gets me about the more "national" type charities is that, after you donate, you are forevermore innodated by more requests for cash.
"We need you more than ever now!"
"We appreciate your past support, but times are tough!"
I understand their situation, but to be honest it really turns me off donating to the larger charities and I now instead volunteer at the soup kitchen and help out local churches (I am not religious) with clothing drives and turkey programs (around Xmas).
