Thanks for continuing to post stuff like this. I am guilty of being way too sporadic with my charity (monatary and otherwise) and it is a hard thing to do, but by doing it you gain a new level of control over not just your generousity, but yourself. A regular 'tithe' is what always gets me because I don't usually work a steady job, and my income varies from 0 to 10000$ a month.
The above comment while kind of missing part of the point, is nonetheless valid, and I think that we should spend some time considering the results of our actions. A good idea can do more than millions in the right hands. I was shocked to learn the overhead of many 'charitible orgs' including posh offices and new computers every year, and paid vacations, etc. the Make-a-wish foundation i have noticed to be bad, but that is just personal experince from working with them locally, so it varies.
Anyway, didn't mean to be long winded, but wanted to thank you for, and encourage this kind of discussion.
