Searching for a worthy US charity
Wednesday, 20 December 2006Every year Yahoo! gives its employees a Christmas present. In the past we’ve received fleeces, blankets and sleeping bags, but this year we’ve been allocated an amount of money to donate to a charity of our choice. We can donate to any US registered charity, including the likes of Amnesty International and Greenpeace - but I would like to donate the money to a smaller charity where the impact will be greater.
Since I don’t live in the US, I thought I’d turn to you to see if anyone out there knows of a small, worthy charity that does good work for children. Leave a comment and I’ll check them all out and choose one from your suggestions.
Many thanks, and Happy Christmas 
Update
So I’ve decided to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. Not quite the small charity I was hoping for, but these people do some really good work in the UK with terminally ill children.
