Off the top of my head, FI just worked on a project for Bread for the World (religious-based, collective) and came across many kids in Haiti and Africa through that. Its aim is to end hunger, which of course affects children in a big way.
Also, to find out about charities or to compare them try going here: http://www.charitynavigator.org/
@MsJeep23: Hah I'm actually on that website right now :) It's helpful in rating the different charities.
Prevent Child Abuse America was my sorority's philanthropy so I've stuck with that, its one you could check out.
@hilsy85: Excellent! haha. I just remembered another--the Child Welfare League of America. Good luck!
CARE works with women and girls around the world and works for women's empowerment. They're an amazing charity!
St. Jude children's hospital. No child is ever turned away for inability to pay. Or your local children's hospital. Maybe you can buy books or toys for the playroom?
Thank you for all the suggestions!
@SoontobeMrsA: I've been seeing soo many St. Jude's commercials lately and they always make me so sad/so happy at the same time.
If you want something really tangible and local to you – maybe you could contact a local public school and donate needed art supplies for the classrooms, or books for the library?
Or, donate boxes of new toiletry items (soap, toothbrushes, mini bottles of shampoo, etc.) to domestic violence shelters, or to a transitional housing organization that gets mothers/children into homes instead of homeless shelters.
Another thought is to donate to your local Ronald McDonald house. I would imagine they can always use nonperishable food, laundry items, blankets/towels for people staying there, and toiletry items.
@hilsy85: I am a partner in hope. We give every month. They say something like "give thanks for the healthy kids in your life and give for those who are not."
@gabrielleelise1981: I'm not necessarily set on it being local, but those are definitely great ideas...I'm sure local shelters would take donations of money and/or supplies. And there's a Ronald McDonald house that I actually pass very often while on visits for work.

Hi bees! DH and I would like to donate some of his bonus money to several charities, and I would really really like to pick one that focuses on children. That being said, there are about a million charities out there and it's hard to narrow it down to just one or two. Does anyone have any particular children's charities that they love/support? Or any suggestions of the best way to go about finding a particular charity to donate to? I'd really like for it to be something that focuses on tangible changes for children (either domestic or international), so not like a research foundation or anything like that.
Thanks for any input :)
