At this time of year I get a generous amount of requests for donations.  I use to donate to almost all of them, but after I started looking into the charities, I found that some of them were not registered with anything and I suspect the donation money was going to some greedy people in the name of Charity.  That is so disgusting. Now I only donate to organizations that can prove they are for real!  I know that so many many people need help and really deserve it-- I am willing to donate to as many charities as I can but only to those who are truly in need.

I donate platelettes every few months and have been doing it for several years.  I've done double needle donations which takes about 2 hours.  They have a very good movie selection (current) but you do have to lay still and  your arm will be somewhat sore when you finish.  They should offer you Tums or some other calcium before you donate.  Go ahead and take them.  Make sure you've had a good nights sleep and a good meal.\n\nGood luck to you.

The process is a little more detailed than the space here allows. The first site below has very detailed information on the process if you are planning on forming a charity, which cannot donate to political parties at all. The second site is for other non-profits, and the third for political organizations.

You can't. You will be always have those who truly need the money and those who do not. Some will be more sympathetic than others. It's a crapshoot. If you are generous by nature, let that comfort you. If you are not, simply do not give money except to charities, who may or may not pass it along to those who need it, like the fakers.

You are not a charity, so no one can give you a donation. Just working hard and being in debt is not going to get you a lot of sympathy. Money management is something that should be taught in school. That will help you more than a donation.

I used to do that, and got $20 the first time, and $30 the second time I donated in a week, so I could potentially get $50 a week doing so. I never made it that often though, I confess. : /

No tithing is not a requirement of God in these times.\nJesus does however say that you recieved freely so give freely.\nIf you are under obligation to tithe then it is not a free gift.\nTrue christians help from the heart not because a religion makes them feel obligated

I am shocked to read this question... and not in a position to comment... I request you please do not do it... donation does not mean charging money…I hope you would take it in a positive way...

Yes you can donate an interest in land.  But the charity will probably study the value, future potential, etc. of the interest in the land, and depending on what they find, they may reject the gift.  \n\nI have heard of churches rejecting gifts of property, if the maintenance on it was greater than what they might get out of it.

There is an organization called Combined Federal Campaign.\n\nThis allows people who work for the government to donate money to worthy causes.\n\nIn the booklet they distribute to entice employees to donate, they have a listing as to what percentage of donations go to the charity.\n\nOrganization that have overhead costs of 25% or more are flagged.\n\nI'm not certain how you could get ahold of this booklet, but it would give a start to determine where to donate.

Yes, I do give food and clothing to the poor and needy...I don't believe in god...but I also don't believe in letting people starve....I do object though to organizations that I have given money to--repeatedly mailing me and asking for more money( I feel as if the money I gave all went to paper and postage); and I feel insulted when they say that they will pray for me. I don't want that.

I always donate something even if I don't have much to the bell ringer. I think it takes alot of guts to walk by those volunteers and not even so much as say "Merry Christmas". I always pack my girls some change in their purse (they are 5 & 7) and they always put something in. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for donating your time!

I agree with this person.  A lot of the collectors on the street also work for private firms and take a cut of the money!  If you want to donate to charity you should do it through the website or post a cheque as you want it all to go to the charity, not a collector.
