Giving to charity is a personal choice. Deciding what to give, how much to give, and when to give are difficult choices we all face. Ensuring that your dollars go where you want them is another concern. Today’s Family First site is an interesting one that is changing how we can donate to our specific concerns and research them at the same time.

Called shine!, this site is an online organization that helps individuals and companies determine which charities they want to support, and then make a donation. Here you find news and features about causes and people, and find out how you can become involved. There is a guide to over 650,000 IRS-registered non-profit organizations listed here in a browseable fashion. There are several unique ways to help raise funds, such as creating an i-shine! page, and shopping at merchants who donate a portion of their proceeds to charity.
There is quite a bit of information at this site, and it can take some time to explore it and find out what is best for you. But it is a worthwhile task. Enjoy your stop here today, and share this site with a friend.
