I used to give to the Southern Poverty law center until they were revealed to be a scan.  Would the AME church maybe be a good alternative?[/quote]
DP here. I'm going to leave aside the comment about SPLC and assume you have the best intentions.

I would actually recommend looking into the small non-profits that serve your community. After school programs, computers for low income families, shelters, meals, food banks...these organizations are mostly supported through local donations, and they form the back-bone of the safety net in most parts of the US. One way to identify them (though you will miss smaller organizations that are often the most cash-strapped) is to find out where your city's Community Development Block Grant services funding from HUD is going.[/quote]

okay, well I give lots of money to catholic charities DC.  They fund a huge food bank.  I guess I wanted something that would specifically address racial inequality, that had been around for a large number of years with a proven track record of effectiveness so I could be sure the money would be used well.  I'm not sure a Catholic based group would be the best choice for this.  Any ideas of DC charities that might be similar, with a proven track record, that help?[/quote]

Give to Howard University or its medical center.  [/quote]
