I support animal-related charities and non-profits such as my local humane societies. We also support Goodwill by donating tons of clothing and household items!!

Muscular Dystrophy Association - My nephew has MD. We do fundraising through out the year and he gets to take the proceeds to the telethon every year. He gets to be on TV, which he thinks is the coolest thing. We also have a can saving program that doesn't go to the telethon, but goes into a private account for his family to help with medical bills, gas for appointments, etc. It's amazing how much recycling cans can do. Having the MD garage sale again in August. Last year, we made $1,000 just at the garage sale, so I'm excited to see how this years will go!

Autism research - Again, I got into this due to personal experience. My daughter has a form of Autism, so it's very close to my heart.

Turtle Rescue - Lots of turtles are bought every year, then either improperly taken care of or released. I've got two turtles myself and would have TONS more if I had a place to put them. I'm hoping to buy a farm when we move just for turtle keeping/rescue.

Sorry. It must be a UK thing but I find this question very impertinent. Giving to charity should be anonymous - unless you are seeking attention for your generosity.

Never the less, you all get a gold star.
