So I recently found out I will be inheriting some money, and I plan on donating (yea, I\'ll get you to peck, calm down) some of it once I figure out what\'s what after taxes. I\'m wondering what charities people like around here. Obviously I\'m looking for larger properly run organizations with tax ids and a breakdown of how moneys will be distributed, web links ideally so I can research as well. I\'ll be giving some to the Meriden pet shelter that Cori was talking about recently, but I\'d like to spread it among a few organizations.
So who likes what, and no personal groveling. I will
not be donating to the
human fund.
(awaiting sarcastic responses\' from Freddie and serious ones from Marcial, Leith and AlZ)
Additionally, I suggest all of you donate what you can out of your tax returns if possible. It\'s always best to give whenever you can, you never know when you will be on the other side.
