She asked: “where would you donate it to make a real difference in the world or at least in a local community?”

Do you think these things make a real difference in the works or a local community?  All donations are great - but these won’t do that. [/quote]

Unless you're giving away 70k a year, I would get off your high horse.

So much anger in this thread.  We do donate around that annually. If we do better next year charitable donations will increase commensurately.  I don’t see why donating to my state college (go terps) scholarship fund does not have an impact. Admittedly $10k is not huge money but to say it benefits me directly is a far stretch.  Likewise we are very fortunate to have lotteries in to such a good school and it has been good to my kids and family. I suppose we benefit from the donations but surely you recognize that we benefit proportionately substantially less than we contribute.   Indeed all of our donations are personal to me. They were there for us when I needed them and I want to make sure that they are there when others need them. We should be so fortunate to be a belt to do so. [/quote]
