Ok Act, I maybe get what you are asking.
I contribute the lazymans way. You can 'do' something to help people, like bring them items, check in on them. Or you can 'pay' someone else to do that for you. I 'pay' to get it done.
I have selected 3 things that I want to see improved in the world and pay money to those organizations assuming they are helping the cause.
I want my money to have a direct benefit. I do not know if it does or not. Maybe the charity is a ripoff.
But giving to charity might increase my 'feel good' feeling rather than directly helping someone. $22 a month to help feed hundreds of thousands of stray animals does not exactly do much. But since I am not buying the pet vood or paying the vet bills, I get to imagine my money goes farther than it does.
