"The Human Fund"

Bear, is that tax-deductable?

That's between you and your accountant. I'll never tell.

My wife gives away money for a living.  She has found great people doing great things in every community her trust fund serves.  Habitat for humanity is excellent (she gives funds for 3 houses per year).  She gives to every women's abuse center that opens.  She gives to a group that has started a Grameen-style bank in a poor community (a most excellent effort which is now self-supporting), a high school for the arts, and numerous libraries.  She also supports the well-estabished charities through United Way.   She also funds various individual projects through grants that charitable groups apply for.

People think she is an angel.  I basically agree.

Kindly point her to my PayPal account.

She can't give money to individuals, only charitable groups.  Even I have to be self-supporting.

the bear's new bike fund est.2002 (see above) IS a charitable group.

Seriously, maybe if you can tell us about the honoree we can help a little better. For instance, Team In Training would be an excellent suggestion if the honoree has a personal connection to a blood cancer victim. Supporting an athlete or two who would do the event in his/her name would be a grat way to honor someone.

Here's a chance to help soldiers who have been injured in the war:

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is constructing a world-class state-of-the-art advanced training skills facility at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. The center will serve military personnel who have been catastrophically disabled in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The center will also serve military personnel and veterans severely injured in other operations and in the normal performance of their duties, combat and non-combat related.
