Would love to add a couple more local charities that are doing good work, either with families/education (as I suggest above) or in other areas.[/quote]

We give about $10K a year, divided among local/national/international and (primarily) education/social service/health charities. A couple of great ones include:

Posse Foundation -- they work with groups of kids in target cities and specific colleges to send a "posse" of kids to school on full four-year scholarships. They target first-generation college attendees--kids who are real leaders as teens, but whose parents didn't attend college and are typically lower-income and unlikely to consider 4-year school or top residential colleges.

Arlington Academy of Hope -- this is a school in Uganda started by immigrants who now live in Arlington. What started as scholarships for rural Ugandan kids turned into a large school, clinics, and higher education scholarship program. It is still a small and locally-run charity where individual donations can make a direct and significant impact.
