Should we save the rain forest or the oceans? Is a disaster in the US more or less deserving than a desaster in Australia? Should we support a children's education program or a program that helps drug addicts and their families? And why not both/everything?

What if it's the beginning of december but we rallied only once so far? And of course, why stop at three, why not four, five or more?

You choose the one that’s somehow closer to your heart, but just to choose not to help so nobody feels left out is super dumb.

> I think the issue (or at least in my case), is having a limited income allows little spare each month for purchases and donations, so what little I can donate I'd rather have a choice of which charities I donate it to. It's not a case of choosing not to help, its a case of if I had to pay more for gems as the extra is donated to a random charity, then I'd rather just buy gems at the normal rate and put the extra it would have cost towards a charity/cause which I prioritise more. Also I then could choose the charity which I think will distribute the donations to the cause in the most effective way.

 

Exactly. Quite a few of us can think of the best place to utilize our funds. It may not be (insert big name generic charity here) but a smaller charity that would efficiently use them in a targeted way we personally know about. I can guarantee anything generic would go into a general fund for the big name though.
