Charity Navigator

This time of year I always start to think about charities and if we have some extra money we can give away. I found a really kool website called Charity Navigator - tis the season for giving! This website is very important because it tells you exactly how much of your donation goes to the cause that they support. Navigator also rates charities by a star system and lists the financials of the organization and how much is spend on administrative costs and executive salaries.

A couple of my personal favorite charities in the Portland Metro are as follows:

Northwest Medical Teams

The Belmont Foundation

Dogs for the Deaf (I actually raised one of these dogs)
