A question about charity.

Everyone gives, more or less. The noblest way to give charity, of course, is anonymously.

This question has nothing to do with religion (I think) but has to do with giving charity specifically.

I was asked, within my community, to give an amount of money for a certain cause. I won’t provide details for obvious reasons.

The amount isn’t large, but it isn’t small. It is also the opposite of anonymous giving.

I probably will give the money.

How do you give? When do you not give?

Do you give every person who has their hand out? Do you give at the office? Do you “give at the office?”

How do you approach the subject of charity philosophically?
