CHARITIES are usually comprised of organizations, businesses, families, churches and many other groups that collect donations to support causes. Charities can be as small as a school-funded project to as large as the March of Dimes, (an organization that raises monies for sick or premature infants). Most charitites allow tax deductions for your donations. Many charities have great purpose, as funding allows these organizations to achieve goals such as health cures, building homeless shelters and so much more. If you'd like to donate to a beneficial charity, the International Disability Coalition performs vital research on spinal injuries, like that of Christopher Reeves. Another good-cause charity would be the Red Cross. Globally, the Red Cross is renowned for their service to humanity. Charities are worthwhile causes that benefit the multitudes.
