If money were no object what philanthropic cause or institution would you leave (or not) money too? Why? Why not? Why do you support their mission?

I would leave a portion of my money.

Charity begins at home in the family.

If money was no object I’d build a hostel in the Lake District where I live for homeless Ex-Service personnel who have a problem integrating into society, and who have been missed by the support that what was supposed to be there for them.
It would give them a place where the is a structure to life that they have not had since they left the forces, a place that would give they somewhere to learn new skills, and get back to what is normal life for the rest of society,

In this generation, I think loneliness is a big and growing issue and it's something I'd try to combat so if there's any charitable organizations that work on building social communities and infrastructure in society and give people a place to come out of their shells.

Other than that, my runner-ups would be affordable housing projects and caring for the environment.

Local charities and non-profits. The big guys are too wasteful with the money. Plus the big guys tend to distribute the money to so many things that you don't know where it's really going.

The local ones not only make much better use of the money, you also know where it's going.

Two things I know I'd give money to are for local kids, and a group that buys up wetlands to prevent them from being developed. All the development where I live is sickening. They just keep building and building until there is nothing left except buildings and concrete.

There are a number of charities for kids that seem to be OK. I'd have to look into the specifics.

As many of you should know (I've said it many times), my favorite charity is St Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis Tennessee, which cares for children with cancer, at no cost to the family. I regularly donate to them and there's a space for them in my Will.

Anything to further a good education for all children.

[DrPepper12]

I have come to expect nothing less from you! You're very kind!

[Caroline91]

Thank you for such a lovely compliment.

Parkinson's Disease research

Alzheimer's research.

I'd establish a scholarship fund.

I'd donate money to rehab houses for homeless vets

[DrPepper12]

That's a great list!! 👊🏻

I think most charities are scams. My kids will end up with whatever is left.

[DrPepper12]

Vets organization and local scholarship are far from scams. Just research them

[exitseven]

Actually the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans is legit. I had them for a customer years ago and they are on the level. That is one of the few I give money to.

[Billybob46]

Charities and children's hospital, I wanna help people.

[Juxtapose]

I'd give it to my loved ones first or people locally.

[MrGSpotHer]

Well I would say help the donkeys but everyone does that now so maybe the rats or fish maybe 🤔

[jamesgoldman]

Heart of England forest

[NathanDavis]

I already do that... and it's not a problem

[BarryLiverstone]

Habitat for humanity

Love that one! Was co advisor on the HS club for 2 years! Jimmy Carter is a legend.
