If you had to donate a million US dollars to charity, which ones would they be?

public radio
public tv
some of the 'natural resource' groups
save the music program
save the fine art program
um...................................................i'd have to do some more searching i see

Diseases that have no cure like Alzheimer's, AIDS, cancer; Autism/Asperger's research; local animal protection associations; associations that really help homeless and disabled people find jobs and homes; I'd like to help poor/lower middle class people buy their own homes since homebuying is so expensive where I live. Of course I'd have to research all these foundations to see if they're legit. These are a few I can think of right now.

Sheffield Youth Theatre, Red Cross, Medecins sans Frontieres (sp?). I might choose other small charities to give a little to as well.

I would donate $500,000 to The Hunger Site and $500,000 to Feed the Children. It's criminal to allow children to go hungry in this world when there is so much food.

Planned Parenthood, Animal Rescue League of Boston, Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, NPR. That's all I can think of right now, but there would probably be others.

I would probably start my own charitable foundation with that much $.

The new one, created recently, by the people who made the &&Day After Tomorrow. It's called something like Save the Forests.

Feed The Children

I'd donate to Hospice and to Breast Cancer research.

I would donate it all to no-kill animal shelters

Related to animal rescue

I donate to a charity founded by an Australian woman that helps release Chinese bile-farmed bears from cages they are welded into for all their lives, then establishes sanctuaries. They are also involved in education of Chinese about animal welfare and empathy. I would give them the money.

Local Humane Societies and animal rescue groups

hym, good question.

probabbly some *local* charity or local event, soup kitchen. Nothing national or big, but in a smaller area where the $$ would actually make a visible change. Or donate it for some good local cause like fixing up a school or buying lots of cheap computers for either poor getho kids living in the inter-city or the poor "white trash" trailer park people living along the river. If not local, then at least the state level (hell, we need it) or at the very least the natinal level, since I believe that charity starts at home, and we have enough problems at home. Sorry, but dont particuallry care too much for AIDS stricken starving Etheopian kids thousands of miles away.

Some sort of Dog Charity I think.

cancer charities

Animal Aid, teen counseling centers, Planned Parenthood

American Lung Association
National Rosacea Society

i would give to npr radio, and various far left media i like (free speech tv, democracy now, rfdtv, link). i would give most to greenpeace, if i were allowed to.

Human Rights Campaign
JASMYN(jacksonville area sexual minority youth network -a local charity
Humane Society
Susan Koman Foundation

Amnesty International

March of Dimes

It would go to a breast cancer charity of some kind, because of my sister going through it.

Planned Parenthood, hands down.

Mostly the ones I've already donated money to - various civil liberties groups, women's (and general) shelters, AIDS support groups, a local animal shelter, some arts foundations.

I'd prefer not to set up my own foundation because I don't want to deal with the complications involved in doing so.

I would want to research various organizations I was considering giving to; I don't like supporting organizations that use a lot of the money donated to raise more money. I prefer to support organizations where a large percentage of every dollar given goes to the actual cause they're supposed to be doing.

Oh my god, that's horrible. I had no idea people did that to bears.

they do that to bears? That is horrible. They would get some of the million from me too!!!

Yeah. Can you also believe that this woman was attacked by the politically correct crowd because she stated the Chinese need to be taught empathy for animals?

Yeah, just imagine it. They go crazy with boredom and do things like self-mutilation.

that is sad

That's bizarre and awful too...

Breast Cancer Research

I'd put it all towards the homeless. That ought to be good for a few months.

the homeless and the hungry also aids and hepatitis c research
I like PBS and National Public Radio too

The 12 St. reconstruction society. My house needs plenty of repair. Otherwise I would consult with my sister because she is politically aware and up on global events. If she was unavailable I would consult w. Zang. He seems to be and expert in those areas as well.

MAKE A WISH...MDA..ST. JUDE HOSPITAL..AND THEN SET UP MY OWN TO HELP FAMILY WHO FACE CRISES.

Humane Society, Alzheimer's research, have some scholarships for kids to apply for college.

In the broad meaning of "charity" something like:

10% Center for Science in the Public Interest
10% Wikipedia
30% National Youth Rights Association
20% Immortality Research
30% Planned Parenthood

Equal amounts to the local branch of the humane society, Cancer research and the United Way.

Would I have to donate it to US charities?
