Hey Pandas, What Charity You Do Or Would Donate To? (Closed)

Last year I made and sold bracelets for an animal shelter called Almost Home. I only raised like 120 dollars, but it helped with the medical bills of an animal.

anything not connected to any kind of church or religious organization

Doctors Without Borders. There was a series on one of the channels I get that were hour-long presentations telling individual stories of doctors and nurses working in the most dangerous situations, both longterm and emergencies like civil war. The difficult decisions, problem solving in desperate situations and extreme dangers to their lives, as a nurse i cannot imagine. One of our surgeons went with them to Somalia. Had the honor of attending a presentation at our small hospital by Dr. James Orbinsky who accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on the organization's behalf. He told about his experiences in Rwanda during the massacres. He headed up King Faud Hospital and singlehandedly prevented the Interahamwe from invading the hospital and murdering everyone with matchetties. My admiration for these people is just beyond. Meeting needs where no one else dare go.

I mostly donate to animal-related charities, mostly shelters really, if some of the money I earn helps to save small lives, then so be it.

I donate to three every year. Ronald McDonald house because a close friend of mine lost their baby son and they took care of them and the family at no charge while he passed. Cancer because my grandma died from cancer. And lastly Shriner's Children's hospital because if it weren't for them I wouldn't walk today.

I donate to charities that buy school supplies for children. When I pay my electric bill, I donate to pay for the electric bills the public library, people who can't afford to pay their bills, and another children's charity. If I can afford it, I donate to women's shelters and shelters for the unhoused.

When I can which tbh is not as often as I would like, I donate money to Huddersfield Feral and Strays - a cat charity. They do so much tirelessly and for free. Trap, neuter and release of feral colonies, rehoming of strays, rehoming of cats and kittens, hand feeding newborns when they’ve been abandoned by the mother. Their volunteers also scan injured or deceased cats due to car accidents, which must break their hearts and something I know I’m not brave enough to do. The charity is also responsible for raising funds to supply West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Services with revival kits for cats and dogs suffering from smoke inhalation. They have many foster carers who all need supplies of food and one massive vets bill which doesn’t seem to get any smaller. Some times they say we can’t possibly take in any more cats, they’ll get an emergency call and more bundles of tiny furry loveliness are given hope. I wish I could do more though. On the plus side I have adopted 2 tiny kittens from them - Eenie and Inky.

I donate to a local (no kill) animal shelter I live near.
They have the sweetest old cat that I've begged my parents to adopt.
I visit her every time I volunteer.

The local animal shelter gets a little each month, + I have a ... stepwhale? A whale my donations are dedicated to, more a symbolic thing, helps the entire organization.

I donate to animal welfare organizations and local shelters.

Lonestar Dog Ranch and Dog Ranch Rescue! They save dogs from puppy mills by buying them at auctions. The dogs are fully vetted and then good homes are found. I adopted two in July of 2020, and I love them!

Every year I donate money to the SPCA, and the British Columbia’s children’s hospital. Both are near and dear to me.

I donate time & money to local animal shelters and to German Shepherd rescue organizations.

Lost 'n' Found - an organization that helps LGBTQ youth who find themselves homeless

I donated to a few animal shelters in my city and supported the BLM movement. Would love to support the LGBTQ+ community and movements in my country next.

There's a non-profit I volunteer with and set up a fundraiser for called Roc Solid. They build playgrounds for kids with cancer, and make bags that are ready to go for sudden hospital visits. My family is very involved with them, and we actually were the base for one of their events a while ago called Night for the Fight. I'll include the link to their website. Such a great community, I strongly encourage you to read through their website. One day I want to make enough many for a major donation. I've met so many friends who's lives have been touched by pediatric cancer through them, and it's amazing.

I donate to local animal shelters (Kill shelters are illegal here in Germany) . Sometimes with money, sometimes with food donations if they have a stand infront of a supermarket. I would also be willing to donate towards local homeless shelters but those aren't necessary in the region I live in.

I would donate to mental health units/charities. Where I live, mental health wards in hospitals are not receiving a lot of funding and it impacts both the nurses and the patients. Most of the patients I've met are good-hearted people who are dealing with or in tough situations. Mental health is important!

Every year, I donate my time and 'healthy self' to Science. I am a healthy participant (or guinea pig) to the my countries NeuroScience Division. I have so far helped in studies, here are a few examples:

Finding exercises to help Multiple Sclerosis where they place electrodes on my legs and hands to observe normal reaction as compared to someone with MS.

Sleep disorders where I have to sleep a night in a clinic and be observed with electrodes stuck on me.

No drugs are ever used, they are all external tests. One I was given games to play and all the computer does is monitors my muscle movements.

The cool thing is they give participants money for travel or parking. I do not take it, I give it back to their research as feel it is for the greater good :)

They are always in need of healthy volunteers so it would be great if I could get this message out to people to show there are so many ways to do charity.

I donate to the Animal Legal Defense Fund because they give animals a voice in courts and Washington
