Depending on their respective fiscal positions and projects undertaken, my contributions are all over the place.
However as a rule, throughout every year, I do buy a few cases of canned and dry goods and donate those directly to local food banks.
This past year, I've given to my church ministry; various Masonic charities within the Blue Lodge, York Rite, Scottish Rite, Shrine, and the Grotto; Goodwill; as well as a destitute family in town that had not even furniture.
In any case, I try to give to reputable charities directly. The reason is given the example that there is a telecollection firm here in Indiana that takes contributions for the Indiana State Police Foundation, but the ISPF only receives something like 5% of all monies collected.
