<prompt> Human: Ive budgeted some money aside to donate during the holiday season. I will be donating to my local church as well. Aside from that, I was hoping to donate to a charity. I have a few causes in mind. So, are there any recommendations? I have done a quick google search and the lists are endless. Also, some charities do so some shady shit. Some insight would be appreciated since its my first time doing something like this. Thank you!  <response>: Charity Navigator is a respected, independent organization that gives meaningful rankings of charities. So charities that sound great are actually poorly operated and will waste your donation.
