I'm on a disability pension and barely have enough to live on. So I have to be choosy and creative. There is a site called i-donate which sends you emails and donates money to your chosen charity via the points you accumulate.
I never give to charities that ring me up because they get too pushy.
I will always support local raffles.
And I give my time at the local neighbourhood house.

And another thing about most charities that ring -usually at a most inconvenient time- is that they not only pay the people to ring but they buy lists. I found this out because I volunteer at my local Vinnies op-shop yet they kept sending me "begging letters" -- when I queried this as I'm now on a limited income I was told hat they not only pay the people to ring but they buy lists. Obviously I'd donated last century.
