Finding a charity is easy, but, finding one that REALLY supports their cause can be tough. I researched and found some charities that put their money where their mouth is and actually support their cause. I found the 10 best charities to support.
This world is a crazy place full of hate, fear, and deceit. I think it’s high time for all of us to put some love back into the universe and help our fellow-man.
While finding charities is easy, finding ones that appropriate their funds properly is tough. I’ve taken the legwork out of it for you finding the 10 best charities to support.

With a staggering 63 million people displaced from their homes each year American Refugee Committee International’s goal is to help the displaced. Being married to a one time refugee this hits me close to home.

Giving a little can mean the world to many! Do you need more incentive? Donations are tax-deductible, meaning you get to claim them on your taxes and maybe get a lower tax bill! Win, win.
Don’t forget to look local. Give to your local food bank or no-kill animal shelters.
Cheers.
