What are the top charities?



When determining what charity you want to donate to you may want to consider its size. If you are a small business you may choose to donate locally or to a small charitable donation in which you can see a difference that you money makes. There are much larger charities that will be able to offer you a report on where your funds actually went to and how it helped your cause.

A list of the largest charitable donations are as follows:
1. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
2. The Ford Foundation
3. The Paul Getty Trust
4. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
5. W.K. Kellogg Foundation
6. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
7. Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
8. The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
9. Lilly Endowment
10. John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation

You are able to compare these and many other foundations at The Foundation Center. These top rated charitable donations are based off of their assets.

So have you figured out what kind of charitable donation you are interested in? There are so many you can probably find whatever you are looking for, but if there is something you really believe in you can start your own. That may sound like a huge hurdle just to get your money to the right place but simple directions can be found on EHow . The most important thing to remember is that you are making a difference in what you believe in.
