Whoops! I forgot one that is very near to my heart. I support anything that has to do with autism. My 16 yr old son has Aspergers Disorder. So I like to donate time and money to that cause.

The Parkinson's Foundation because my mother had Parkinson's Disease just about the whole of her adult life and The American Heart Fund because my dad died from a massive heart attack. I always hoped that I would live long enough to see these two specific diseases conquered by modern science. That probably won't happen.

insanity, my mother had Parkinson's, and my dad died of heart disease at age fifty-one. I, too, wish for cures for these ailments, as for all.

I get the feeling that many of us support those charitable organizations that work with people who are experiencing a situation that each of us has experienced, either directly or in connection with a family member or a dear friend. Am I right?

I've a soft spot for leukaemia research, as my Dad died of Leukaemia.
We've rather a good scheme at work - if we donate money for our dress down day, the employers will match the donation. They used to double it, but times is hard. I pay mine into a charity bank account and let it mount up. It's good to be able to do a decent cheque for sponsorship when someone is doing the marathon/moonwalk/race for life etc.
Charities I support regularly are a local greyhound rehoming kennels. I walk the dogs there as well at the weekend, thus donating some time as well and enjoying every minute.
I also give to the Anita Goulden Trust fairly regularly.

Cym,
Looking at the responses, I believe you are right.
With the exception of supporting my brother-in-law (and he's not even tax deductible! ), the three charities that I support have done much for my children, directly and indirectly. Someone once suggested that this was a selfish motive for deciding how to set aside my time and money for particular causes, which I found very hurtful. There are so many worthy causes, but I can't give to all of them.
