idk why I'd need to donate to Charity, I think she has enough money already. [reference to this girl sitting next to me... and that being her name. o3o;]

But srsly, I don't because I don't have any money~

I'll often shop at charity shops (one of my best friends works at one), and it's where we'll send things we no longer need. So I guess so.

I'll also sponsor friends - for example my cousin always participates in Race for Life.

My parents donate to a few charities and sponsor a child in... some third world country. I myself have never really donated money though. I probably will donate to Child's Play sometime though. :] I really like the idea and drive behind that charity.

The best and most effective way of donating to Charity is through regular donations, be it monthly Direct Debit, or quaterly or even an annual arrangement. This is best for the charities, because it means that they know what money will be coming to them, how much it will be, and when it will be coming. This in turn, means that they can plan for future projects, and not have to take money out of their bank too often- the bank being there to use when emergencies hit when aid is needed oversea for example.

Of course, one off donation will never be turned down, but next time you consider donating, think about doing it monthly. If you are going to donate £20 or $20 for example, make it £2/$2 a month instead- it will be a little bit more than u were intending, but better for the Charity in the long term.

I give money to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Friends Of The Earth, Amnesty International and another one I cant remember- all on monthly donations.

...no, and to tell the truth i probably won't. I've tried to donate bread the "homeless" people on the street, though only 1 person took any :/ But ya, I don't like the idea of giving money to things that I find trivial at best, especially when I'm not getting anything out of it (warm fuzzy feelings don't count as "something". I'm also a bit of a cynic, so i really don't like the idea of "donating to the cause" or whatever.

That's because I donated for her, sweetie. As well as BeachBoy.

PokéCommunity is the only thing I've ever donated for. Charities and things like that never really crossed my mind, unfortunately. Not that I have the money to do so anyway. And... if I did, unless it was more than enough that I needed, I probably wouldn't, either.

When I have money to spare, I always donate. However, I turn down any gifts involved unless their purpose is to spread awareness of the organization; I wouldn't really call it donating if you're receiving something in turn, I'd call it a transaction. I generally donate to the FSF, the EFF, the Red Cross, or a software project in need of funds. Unfortunately, I rarely have money on-hand, as I do not have a job. One of the reasons I gravitate toward free-gratis (or gratis/libre) software is because I prefer to spend my money on donations, though.

If I have some change I just put it in the charity box. If it's like adopting an animal,no. Mum & Dad wouldn't let me. :( I'd like to adopt a dolphin or tiger though.......Kawaii Tigers.....
And I've donated to the Air Ambulance Charity as they once saved my uncle....

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

... I'm ashamed to say this but no. I do put in money if our teacher gives us an envelope to donate to charity but If a person comes to me on a street and say 'Would you like to donate?' I flatly refuse them. I even refuse people handing out fliers. D|
