Do you give regulary to any non-religious charities?
 

i regularly give to Doctors Without Borders but would like to know if there is a way to check on their "efficiency" with regards to donations.

Is there a reliable way to do this? I am always suspicious of pie charts that show such low 'administrative' expenses (%wise).

I guess just out of curiousity, if you do have a favorite charity, why or how did you pick them?

I guess I'll start. Being somewhat a refugee myself and seeing all those former "Yugoslavian" refugees settle in Germany, I can somewhat relate to their issues.

I regularly donate old clothes to Big Brothers of Canada...I regularly donate blood at the Canada Blood Society...does that count?

The First Tee of Denver.....because they are a monumentally fantastic organization.

We also pick up two meals a year at the Denver Rescue Mission, and give to the Red Cross.

I would recommend a smaller, local non-profit.
