Do you feel inspired to donate to a charity? You may look at all the options and feel overwhelmed by the choices. There are countless nonprofits and organizations you could give your money, but you want to ensure your funds are used responsibly.
To help you narrow down your choices, here is a list of various charities that are guaranteed to use your money in the best way to help those they are looking to support. Some may even be eligible for double the donation through a corporate matching program.
Helping To Stop Hunger in the U. S.
Many give their time, especially around the holidays, to volunteer at soup kitchens. However, many may forget that hunger is a year-round issue. The charity, Feeding America, has said that over forty million people in the United States do not know where their next meal is coming from.
If you do not have much, you can donate financially; Feeding America is a great way to give your time to and volunteer in their soup kitchens or set up a food drive to help feed the hungry.
Raising Funds for Pediatric Cancer Research
It is heartbreaking that seven hundred children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer every day. The organization, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, was founded by a child named Alexandra Scott, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma before she even turned one year old.
She started a lemonade stand when she was four and raised over two thousand dollars. By the time of her passing, when she was eight, she had raised over one million dollars for pediatric cancer research. It is still a great organization to donate to today.
Preventing Suicide for LGBTQ+ Youth
Suicide among teens in the LGBTQ+ is a major issue, and The Trevor Project has been working on terminating suicide among those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning since 1988.
They do this by providing crisis intervention and counseling. They offer an excellent service to these teens and are trustworthy to use whatever you can give to help more at-risk teens.
Protecting the Environment
In 1892, the Sierra Club was founded, and its mission was to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places on earth. They also promote and practice responsible use of the earth's resources and ecosystem.
This organization will use your donation to focus on sustainable energy, promoting time spent outdoors and maintaining the earth's resources and wildlife.
Support Training Assistance Dogs
In 1979 Michael and Candye Sapp founded Paws With A Cause, where they trained a dog to alert a deaf couple of essential sounds, such as their baby crying. It has grown tremendously into a national organization that trains several service dogs for those with physical and mental disabilities.
This organization relies entirely on donations; donations are vital since their clients do not pay for the dog and receive more than two thousand applications for an assistance dog every year.
Finding a Cure for Alzheimer's
In 2004, three families came together to found The Cure Alzheimer's Fund after they grew frustrated at how slow the research on Alzheimer's was moving. Their foundation is designed, so the Board of Directors covers all overhead expenses, which leaves all the funds to go directly to Alzheimer's research.
So far, this organization has raised over 77 million dollars, and there have been several discoveries that they fully funded.
The desire to help those in need is a great thing. However, if you have the funds or the time to give, looking into an organization before you provide them with anything is vital. Ensure they are trustworthy and that your money is going to a good place.
