Re: United Way
There are many local charities (pet rescues, domestic violence shelters) that would benefit from a check written directly to them. I find that the more local the the organization, the less layers of red tape that money gets funneled through.
As we all know, it's not always money that is needed. sites like Idealist.com and volunteer match often list groups that need in kind donations, donations of time etc.
Probably my last choice would be to donate to a large, national organization. Too much administration requiring too many salaries.
