I've been resolved since I was in college to give away 10% of my income a year. I give to two anti-human trafficking organizations that I know first-hand spend their money wisely and vastly improve the lives of individuals who have been victimized in a way most of us can't imagine: GEMS: Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (http://www.gems-girls.org/ http://www.gems-girls.org/) and Polaris Project (www.polarisproject.org/). I also give some money to NYC arts organizations (NY Philharmonic, etc), but that is mostly because I like the benefits rather than out of any great philanthropic ideal.
