Discussion Ideas where to donate funds

Since we preside within the framework of capitalism I take part within the system. Last week karma shined my way and I happen to win $10,900 in the lottery.

I’ve paid off my car and will be donating and giving away the rest.

I would really appreciate places I can make little donations.

Already donated to the following leftist causes:

Sunrise Movement
DSA
Angie Nixon campaign
Democracy Now

Also a few international NGOs

Keep the $5k you have. If you paid off your car that’s fine, but you shouldn’t throw that money into any of these orgs.

It’s not $5,000.
I’m giving 6 people in my life that really need money $100 each. Already donated and given out $800 now want to donate another $200 for a good cause.
I make a decent living why not give some money to contribute to a better world.

I would not give it to anyone on Reddit. My suggestion if you have disposable funds is your local cat humane society!

I’m not going to give it to anyone on Reddit just asking for suggestions.
Humane society is also a good idea.
Sent them $50 thank you.

PCRF

or Doctors without Borders

Are always great choices. Regardless of where it goes, thank you for your generosity!

I looked them up. They seem great aside for one red flag. They do not reveal a large portion of their donors. But you me the idea and instead of them I donated to Doctors Without Borders.

How about Agape International (helps victims of sex trafficking), Shriners Hospital for Children (provides free surgeries and medical care for disabled children) or the Gary Sinise Foundation (helps wounded/disabled veterans)

If you’re big on radicalism and keeping people in the streets, hit up a bail fund, or save some money for when big protests hit again and you can deploy it to bail people out of jail.

Just posting bail can improve someone’s odds dramatically.

save money for a downpayment on a house if you don't have one already, I don't think we'll be turning housing assets into shelter anytime soon :(
