It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
The following organizations all rely on charitable support to fund their efforts. Several offer creative gift-giving arrangements that are perfect for holiday or birthday gifts. You donate money for a specific program and receive a card which says a donation to the following program has been made in your name. It's a great way to spread holiday joy at any time of the year.
So many charitable organizations exist that this is just a small list of our favorites. Being listed here does not offer any guaranty of an organization's charitable programs.
