A Good Cause - 100 million by any chance?

Every year, I donate to a charity before Christmas, as many people do. I have tried to get my family to do this instead of buying (always far too many) presents, but have failed. I today read that an individual had donated UsD 100 million to New York's Central Park. There's a billionaires club, of which I think Gates and Buffet are party, trying to encourage others with similiar means to use half of their assets for a worthy cause. It's often more (or entirely) symbolic at my income level, but I find it important to think about those not as priviledged as us, with a practical contribution, at least this one time a year. I'd be happy to receive suggestions for this year's cause. Inspire me with a link or organization to look into. (Apologies for festive season thoughts two months ahead of the time. The UsD 100 million donation just made me think of this.)

  1. Oh, never too early to think about Christmas (am BIG fan, singing carols all year round)!
    Didn't know you had that usd 100 mil (joking!!), but I can suggest a few ngos to donate to... namely the ones I work for ;)
    But on a more serious note, what would you like to support? Then I can give a more reasonable suggestion.
