[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is only 2, so she doesn't get allowance yet, but thinking ahead, I have a question for those of you that do a weekly split that includes charity (something I'd like to do eventually).

How do they actually disburse the charity funds. Do they choose? D you add it to yours? Do they pick different ones or always the same place? Basically, I'm just interested to hear how you do it in your house.[/quote]

Like the pp, we have the kids set aside money for charity. When they reach a certain point where it's large enough ($20?), they can choose a cause they're interested in. (I found by later elementary age, they're well aware of different sorts of charities, like helping animals or the environment.) Like pp, we research the specific charity and help them make the donation.

They kids take responsibility very seriously--they realize it's not that much money, and there are many potential causes, and they're proud to be able to help one in a small way. We remind them that they don't have to give to the same cause all the time, and that they will have other chances to give in the future.[/quote]
