Ask HN: What is your favorite charity?
I am curious as to if Hackers commonly donate to charitable organizations. The thread listed at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=552647 questions donating to OSS groups, but I wanted to open the question a little wider.
I personally donate to the ACLU and EFF regularly. Where do you donate?

- villageidiot 18y agoDoctors Without Borders http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/index-alt.cfm http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/index-alt.cfm But only because a friend of mine is a volunteer. To be honest, he pestered me about it for years but I didn't actually donate until he came back from Israel and told me about how he and some other Western doctors had almost been accidentally shot by Israeli troops while taking care of some wounded Palestinians. Of course he probably made the whole thing up, since that could never happen. With tax time around the corner, be reminded that a donation is tax-deductible: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/donate/ http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/donate/
