Yeah but it's cheaper to be cynical and fatalistic.

Aimless:
I'm biased in favour of Doctors Without Borders... and lately I've also been thinking that alzheimers research could do with a lot more money.

But I think you should also look around for good LOCAL projects :)

Emaline:
The only problem with doing something local is that I will be traveling from St. Louis, MO to Columbia, SC for this. So doing something local is slightly out of the question. One of the reasons I like Oceana is because is benefits the sea, and we are going to be in SC, which is a coastal state.


But thanks everybody for your suggestions. Moo, Oxfan looks good. It reminds me of Heifer International. For some reason I really like organizations like that.

RedLion:
I generally donate to causes that are kind of specific and focused on groups of oppressed peoples, like Tibetans, Palestinians, etc. I just have a thing for underdogs I guess.

I also give a fair amount of money to charities for wounded animals. It normally takes quite a bit to make me cry--I didn't at my grandmother's recent funeral, for instance--but whenever see an advertisement for animals that have been abused (showing videos of a cat who had its eye gouged out by its owner, a dog whose leg was purposely broken and sawed off, etc), I immediately break down crying and wind up donating.

I guess overall it's that I donate to people and animals who have been victimized/abused.
