Charity begins at home, only when my family’s needs are provided for does charity outside the home comes into play and in that, I do not put money into the hands of well meaning do-gooders. I study the problem and search out ways to implement solutions. That is where my money, time and efforts go. Choose a problem you want to solve and do that. My work on the Energy Problem continues.

One charity for animimals- gosh there is such need for both wild animals and abandoned/feral animals...I know I shall consult the animals and get back to you! (wish me luck!)
After speaking with all of the animals we have come to an agreement. The money should go to Doolittle's Friends!!!! C/O Doolittle's Friends/ no kill shelter or/every animal- no exceptions or/vaccinations for animals world wide or/Jail animal abusers and those that hunt & kill endangered animals or/Feed the animals or/FREE THE CHICKENS!! .org

While I hate to see animals abused, I hate even more to see women and children abused. Organizations that do all that they can to assist this ever-growing segment of society, is where I would put my million......shelters, educational programs in schools, housing, counselling services, job training, etc.

1M bucks is a lot of money. I don't trust any charities. When I hear that only 20% actually goes to the needy, and the rest is administration fees/salaries, it makes me suspect. It was reported that the top dog in the Salvation Army was making over 1M a year. I agree with Bob, a direct donation to the Shriner's. Our furry little friends need help too, however I think a human has priority over an animal.

Worth considering Kiva, see www.kiva.org . You are giving a loan not a donation so you know the money is being used by the recipient not paying the 'suits' running the charity.
