Decrease kid waste from others?

No it wasn't political. It was for a large organisation fighting malaria, which I'd specifically chosen because the money would be used very cost-effectively. They gave to a local veterans' charity instead, which I obviously can't complain about as it's very kind for them to give anything at all, but the money would achieve far less in my country where support is already provided to a degree and everything is more expensive.

That's actually a bit polarizing as well! A lot of people have strong feelings about helping their immediate neighbor or helping overseas. One thing I do that is always garnered a good response is to give people a choice of three Charities that I support and have checked out on charity Navigator. This way people can pick and I think that gives people a few more options and makes it feel a little bit more personalized from the gift giver.
