I don't have a favorite charity, so I spread my contributions. I donate regularly to: local NPR station, Wikimedia Foundation, local community arts studio, my undergrad and graduate schools, Medecins sans Frontieres, and a small local organization back home that educates underprivileged children. I also donate sporadically to cause-based organizations like Equality California and disaster relief efforts.

I volunteer sporadically for: local NPR station, local community arts studio, AID and Asha. I do this a lot less than I would ideally like to.

Sorry, My English is not at par with experts here and so I am not answering. My fingers are all tied up from typing.

Don't listen to "that" girl.

UUF is a charitable organization that helps old people in these hard economic times.

Uppili Upliftment Foundation.

Sankara Eye Foundation. They directly trace your donations to operations done on folks, and send you their names. You know your funds directly made the difference and gave sight for a few folks!
