The world really would be a better place for all of us if we'd all chip in to the charities that are most meaningful for us. I, for one, think that this is a great idea.

My conceren is who to donate it to, as so much money does not reach the victims that it is intended for, some keep 50-60-70%. There is a good US site that reviews and gives charities ratings depending on how much money they keep for administration purposes & how much gets to the intended people, research or animals etc. Does anybody know where I can find ont who are "the Best" charities in Australia & specifically for the bush fire victims in this case. Keep on donating CK Hi, I am an Aussie living in China, we are running a fundraising event to help the Victorian Bush Fire Victims. hopefully we will raise a good amount of money.

Donation's should reflect something personal and important to the donor. It's a good way of setting a good example for others and also getting the chance to meet and help others who can relate to what's important to you. Excellent post.

People should be donating all the time to help those in need. But thanks for sharing about yours. It is a good cause no matter how you donate.

Which makes me think, does anyone know what the deal is with charity auctions? Do the companies who donate the goods get a tax benefit? What about businesses who purchase goods at a charity auctions? Seems like a good way of giving to multiple causes as a business... I seem to remember Crazy John mobile phones bought one of the units off that TV show, The Block a while back...
