Decided as an associate to give 20% of gross income. Post kids, house, two cars, we moved to 20% of net and have continued with that. It's divided between a number of organizations based on causes my wife and I care about: disaster relief, orphans, shelters, food banks, youth programs, cancer research and others. Rare to give more than $500 to a single organization and over 50% of list varies from year to year.

I’m seeing a lot of people in here being real negative about “where your money goes” to charity organizations, it should be illegal to be tax-exempt, etc. Google Charity Navigator and you can see any registered nonprofit in the country on that site and how they use donations. It gives a full financial breakdown so you can be comfortable with giving money or not.

I give about $1000 to small local animal rescue groups. There is one that for $75 you can save a doggie from death row.

Churches and big organizations don't need my little pittance, they have enough money. Besides they pay board members way too much money. My donation wouldn't make any difference to them. Small local nonprofits are the ones that really need the money. JMHO

I give about $20-30k annually to different organizations through others trying to make a difference through walks, runs, cycling.etc. I donate to my college alma mater (state school that can use every penny) very strategically through a fund so I can direct it. I also do my own pay it forward activities and donations as I volunteer for numerous youth groups, non profit boards and women's mentoring groups. These groups are always in need. I feel blessed to be where I am after years and years of hard work, its time to spread it out.

$2k to child sponsor type charities
$1k to misc (largely fundraising events by colleagues, usually to fund research for cancer or sids etc)
10% to church (I’m on the board, I don’t get paid for my time, the pastors get benchmarked against teachers salaries, others get paid minimum wage + 25%, most are volunteers)
$1.5k to charities via my church (community free tuition, mobile shower for homeless, women’s refuge etc)

I don’t have kids and live with my parents so can afford to spend my money on what I want.
