Gdq are clowns now and if you say it you're transphobic and don't support LBGTQ rights

I'd like to add Lakota People's Law Project and Minnesota Freedom Fund

One with a better track record of using donations for charity and not spending money on anti gay agendas.

They got Dolly Parton for a football game that's the definition of excess.

I love Dolly, all us Tennesseans do, but come on.

But christmas is the season of giving, and bigots are people too 🥺

Toys for Tots was pretty good last I checked

They changed their stance a quite a while ago. Even their website states they accept everyone including LGBT+

The Freedom From Religion Foundation

[-] jackoneill@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Nowhere, not rich enough to be able to donate when we can barely cover our own expenses

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You're prioritizing your own survival over filling the pockets of the salvation army leadership? (They are quite well "compensated" for their "efforts")

And this during christmas, the season of giving?

Have you no compassion?

I always give my money to local animal shelters + archive.org

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I actually got a grant from a local animal shelter and I was planning on giving back... until I checked my email to see if I got any clients and found out that they've been sending astronomical amounts of spam there (I definitely never consented to that, it was my professional email) and quickly reconsidered. Same reason i'm never donating to wikipedia ever again. I didn't give you my email so you could slam it with commercials... Hope that quarter of a penny you got was worth it, assholes, because once i'm done cleaning up you're never seeing another cent from me ever again. Donated to antifa once, got a single email saying "Remember that cause you donated for? We won."

I use that as a litmus test. I now have a "spam" email and donate small amounts. If they spam that email, I won't donate again.

I'm a fan of Toys For Tots as a direct alternative. They don't accept money; you just buy a toy and put it in the donation bin, and they distribute them
