Exactly such actions I mean. I was shocked when I had some insight into how much money is diverted from donations for administrative purposes. That is not where I give my money.
You see, I say. Trust no one but yourself 😃

As the title already says, I would like to know which foundation you would prefer to donate to.
Likewise, you can also describe your experiences that you may have already collected in this regard
When I started a few years ago (then still bwin orginal not about PartyPoker) with online Poker I met some people who also played every day. From there I came to the then online poker community "Reraiser Club"... The next few years was from this community weekly an internal Tournament (at the end of a year but also every week rankings were created). At some point there was also the proposal to collect the buy ins and gtd's of our tournaments over a period of time and donate. There were 3 or 4 charities to choose from which the members voted on. Well, long story short, the race was "Doctors Without Borders". At the end of the year a higher 4-digit amount was collected which our "as we called him CHEFFE^^ Roger Bütler" forwarded to the organization. The Reraiser Club no longer exists... longer history, but has what to do with the takeover of Party Poker, but also had other reasons, especially also temporal nature. Roger lived at the time in Vegas, now in Vietnam... independent and and.... but still have contact with him on Facebook.
It was a nice action. Tunier buyins were not much at that time, from each 5.50 $ for the weekly challenge, but that times 50 people about per week, this over a year... so you could get together even with small money finally a nice sum
Have just looked, there are actually still remains of our existence on the net^^
Another action was for a member of the club whose daughter had a disease similar to Down's syndrome... there we played poker for a dolphin therapy in Turkey which the family alone could not have afforded
I was approached by a clearly drug-addicted young woman who was also pregnant and asked if I could give her some small change because she hasn't eaten for days and isn't from here but is fleeing from her beating boyfriend. I told her that I'm happy to get her something at McDonald's but she doesn't get any money from me. that was the only time I donated anything. when you donate to advertising, half of it is first used for advertising costs and another 25% for the person who does the donation campaign.
I had a time there I have long made from Dad's money party because he is very wealthy (Meanwhile I'm ashamed of it)
There came times the situation I was in a lounge / bar and have once again made with known party
Then a homeless man came in who asked a buddy of mine (he works in the store) what a coke Kostet
He told him 2.50 and the homeless wanted to give his 1.50 he had for it so my buddy said he did not have to pay anything and brought him the Coke so and let him sit a bit
At the same moment my buddy came to me and told me what he had just experienced
Then I got to thinking I thought to myself I spend here in the evening 4,000 € for Moe't, grey goose etc.. and this man would give his only for a Coke
I decided to do something useful and made with my buddy from this man to help something
We asked him if he would like to come again tomorrow at noon and he agreed
We went with him to eat, to a cafe, to the hairdresser, buy clothes, and gave him at the end of the day still some cash with
We talked a lot with him and were really speechless what a man can do anything with
To see how grateful this person was for such "self-evident things" was very touching
Now he is to our knowledge in a clinic in the mountains where he lives now
The whole day cost us about 600 € - 800 €
I can really say with full conviction this feeling is better than getting 5 heads this sharing and helping
i sometimes think about it when I am down and I am grateful for all the opportunities I have
Helping and donating is something very good and if you don't trust the organizations you can make your contribution and help even one single person
We once donated to a foundation for children with cancer. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact name of the foundation
When I go back to work full time after graduation, I'd like to start donating regularly again. Probably to animal welfare organizations and/or foundations for sick children
Especially for animal shelters and the like, donations in kind in the form of blankets, towels, food, etc. are often helpful. Also at Fressnapf there is a donation basket, where you can put a few cans of food, toys, etc.. There it arrives in any case where it is needed
I donate rather indirectly. Have "bought" a few animals from the shelter over the years to give them a nice(re)home, better food and more attention that they would not get in the home
Donating money (or food) to the shelter is of course always good (and actually always urgently needed), even if you don't take or don't want to take an animal yourself.

I generally don't give money donations anymore. If someone really says he is hungry or thirsty, then I always give something
If I'm in the mall and have been to the bathroom, I don't put 50 cents on the plate either, but a Snickers bar. The look of the usually somewhat stronger cleaning women is the highlight of my shopping.
I also find it worst when, at least in our rural area, the prospective confirmands go around collecting money for the church. They know why they send the kids, everyone feels sorry for them. Normally, with such a candidate, the front door flies shut again. But there even I give something.
What I also find stupid, are these bread for the world donations. Have you ever looked at these little bags? How do you fit a loaf of bread in there? The next time I fill there breadcrumbs purely.
Then these annoying people who want to sell you some subscriptions in the city centers. Stupidly, they want to see your ID card, in the past you could always give them the data of your unpleasant neighbor.
Then there are the Eastern Europeans who ring the doorbell at 8 a.m. on Sundays when I can sleep in, after I've been working my butt off all week, and hold out their badly written sign to me: Have 242 children and no money. I say, I don't give money, but I could offer a few sandwiches. No, he only takes money. And bam, the front door flies shut. Very simple.
I could give 300 more examples, but I have to get up tomorrow. Good night.
So I noticed that for the most part foundations for needy children or animal welfare organizations are mentioned.
Are there any other foundations that you would find interesting?

Perhaps you could make a youth team in soccer a joy. The kids would surely be happy about new jerseys or tracksuits

I would suggest donations to those in need. Whether sick children, animal welfare organization or but also donations to war zones or so. There the money is mMn much more urgently needed
