Several.

Because they're relevant to me or causes I believe in.

I don't make regular contributions, just bits and bobs as and when I can.

I work for a charity and support a few that are personal to me

Supporting a charity doesn’t always mean a monetary value. One of the biggest ways to support is by giving your time and volunteer for them especially small charities who don’t have a huge work team behind the scenes

Another great way is by spreading the news, networking and share their social media pages. Let others see what they do and how they maybe able to help

I use charity shops a lot, both by giving items to, and buying from. So I support all the High Street Charity shops essentially.

A related but not directly answering the OP's question, I was asked to do a piece of research by a local CVS organisation on how different charities fare in times of recession...

Human / Disease charities are most protected. So Cancer Research, McMillan, NSPCC etc.

Animals fare next, Dogs Trust, PDSA etc.

Environment / Historic Charities are the most vulnerable in hard times.

I support some orphanages. I believe children without parents are the most vulnerable humans.

Sorry to be negative but charity for me is a failure of the system & the modern day charity's are very competitive at getting what little money is left to go around.

Also I am not happy at giving CEO's and senior managers big wages and often wonder if I am just keeping them in luxury and only a small amount of my money is going to the end user.

Ad a CEO of a non profit I can assure you I am not paid a big salary, less than a quarter than equivalent in business world. I also don't live in luxury.

Without myself and my team doing our jobs well the charity would bring in tiny amounts of income, fall foul of fundraising regulations, not comply with financial auditors, GDPR and all the other laws and regulations

But most importantly we wouldn't raise millions to help our beneficiaries.

I have always worked for charity, and support charities as well.

I don't generally but will very occasionally give to a local cause I feel is worthy.

I actually found out today that someone has made a sizeable donation in my name to the NI hospice as a birthday gift and I'm not thrilled

I donate regularly to 2 or 3 charities at a time. I tend to switch them up every year because I simply don't have enough to give to all the charities I'd like to give to.

One is always an animal charity (not always the same animal charity, but one of my charities is always an animal protection one) because animals are brilliant and never deserve the bullshit humans inflict upon them.

The other/s just depend on what feels particularly significant to me at the time.

I also do a big food shop to donate to the food bank several times a year - even though it makes me raving mad that such a thing is necessary in one of the riches countries in the world.

"If you find yourself more fortunate than others, build a bigger table, not higher walls."

Or something to that effect.

Three different animal ones, one that helps homeless addicts, one that supports torture victim refugees, and one fighting child genital mutilation. I randomly give to relief organisations when there's a crisis, like UNICEF or the red cross, and any queer support campaigns that cross my path. I give way more than I can afford to, but it does my heart good in this shitty world.

Ooh glad thus has come up.

Looking for next charity that would benefit. Happy to take pm.

The charity commission needs to grow a pair and remove charitable status from religious organisations, the millions in tax relief and gift aid should be diverted to real charities not funding child abuse, terrorism and general lunacy, makes my blood boil

I typically donate to smaller orphaages. Not a big fan of huge organisations like Amnesty international or the likes. Pretty sure some of them are doing great work. But I have a much clearer picture of how my money is used when I donate to smaller ones.

The CEO of Barnardo's earns

£180 Thousand pounds as an example, I picked on this charity as someone mentioned it but could be any of the big charity's.

£180 Thousand pounds a year and that simply for the CEO
