My wife and I support our local Humane Society, so I picked that. We also budget for donations to the Salvation Army (much larger donations) but that was not a choice in the poll, or I would have gone for them.

You're the man Greg. Great Idea!

I'd donate for the research against AIDS... is there an option that does it?
 
  • #8
I went with Habitat for Humanity, one of my favorite charities.

Personally I give to World Vision and our local food bank.

I figure third world countries need our help far more than anything or anyone in our first world countries.

When you say $100 dollars to Ronald McDonald House, that isn't some covert term for you dining out in McD's for a week?

My grandad had Alzheimers at the end of his life, so that's where my vote goes. I really hope they find a cure because it is truly a dreadful illness.

This is a really nice idea, Greg :smile:

RMH (formerly RMCC - Ronald McDonald's Children's Charities) provides short-term housing for families with children undergoing treatment in distant hospitals.

Not clear on Greg's Matching Program and I can't afford 100.00, however I can buddy up to match 100.00 with someone who is making a donation. I don't need the details about donation buddy.
Or should we donate Gold memberships?

I voted Ronald McDonald House. Sick kids break my heart. Any amount of comfort that can given to sick kids is worth it.

I think the idea is you nominate a charity it goes to, no donation required.
