I am a 14 year old who wants to volunteer at animal shelters or other organizations/charities, but most require you to be over 18, do you know of any in Manhattan that would allow me to volunteer?

What are your favourite NON-religious charities?

BeX asked:


My boyfriend and I are starting a new tradition for our Valentines day. Instead of giving gifts to each other, we’d like to donate to a cause so long as it doesn’t involve pushing or spreading religion. Can be for anything like environmental, human rights, animals etc.

What are your favourite charities/causes and why?

Why do hunger relief charities never show ALL hungry children?

Sunday, August 24th, 2008
charities
Tracey Boo asked:


I have always noticed and it has always bothered me that in the commercials to help hungry children all over the world, they never show hungry anglo children. They always show african, black, latino children as the ones in need as if white kids around the world don’t suffer these types of problems. True enough these race classes do suffer, but it’s like these charities don’t want to depict anglo-saxon aka white children in an offensive or non positive light. Suffering doesn’t discriminate. Is there a sensable reason for the bias?

Charities call me and let me feel guilty. How to avoid this?

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Mick asked:


I receive many calls from charities and non-goverment organizations asking me for a contribution. I don’t care if anyone gives money to them but I do not intend to share my taxed income at this point.
.
They usually speak a “sad dog eyes” language and it makes me feel guilty to refuse them. I registered in do-not-call list but charities are extempt from it.
.
Any idea how to avoid feeling guilty when not contributing? I consider it as some kind of blackmailing. I think this is different compared to say if someone asks for a cigarette, they just ask some neutral way perhaps.

What kind of charities do you believe in the most?

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Tom S asked:


Charities that feed the poor or feed children in poor countries, or maybe those that provide help to AIDS victims, or build schools in third world countries. Or maybe charities that provide homes to animals, or the environment. Or maybe the church is your charity.

Just curious. Thanks.

Is World Vision one of the more reputable charities to sponsor children in poorer countries?

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

AM79 asked:


I’ve considered sponsoring a less fortunate child, and want to ensure that the charity I select gives much of the proceeds to the child. Sometimes you hear stories about charities that send only a small percentage of what you donate to the child. Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience or advice in this area. Thanks!

Does anyone know any charities to drop these toys off at?

Monday, August 11th, 2008
charities
Kristina asked:


I have a lot of toys to give away. We were supposed to have a toy drive at work that was going to be given to charity but my boss had to go out of town so there’s no drive now. I don’t want to give it to a secondhand store or Goodwill because they sell them, they don’t give them away. I want to know if there are any charities right now that I can give these toys to that give them away so they don’t go to waste.

Puttin’ On The Ritz asked:


For my online shop, I would like to donate a percentage of my profits to different charities. So far I have decided on the World Wildlife Fund, and the Amreican Cancer Society. Are there any other charities that you would suggest for me to add to the list?
