Much prefer donat... (Below threshold)1. Posted by irongrampa | February 27, 2011 1:39 PM | Score: 1 (1 votes cast)
Much prefer donating on a LOCAL level--you can see immediate results, with less overhead eating up the donation.
Not to mention it doesn't always need to be cash, material stuff can be a true life-saver.

Might want to include UMCOR - give to them on one of their targeted needs and 100% of your donation goes to that.

Fun fact: The president of World Vision, Richard Stearns, is a BFF of Jim Wallis---Obama's "spiritual advisor". He has been a big supporter of Wallis' Sojourners. Stearns is big on social justice and global issues. I am not trying to talk anyone out of anything, just want to make sure people make an educated decision. Naturally you can Google (or Bing, etc.) and find out more.

World Vision was started in 1952, long before Richard Sterns became the organization's president. What Sterns does in his private life no way reflects on the work of World Vision.
By the way, I've been with Compassion International for the last 23 years. That organization constantly receives a high grade from charity watchdog groups.
