What Charity can I give to?

Asked by Judi (40025points) December 5th, 2008

My mother in law doesn’t need more “stuff” so last year I gave her a goat from Heifer international. This year I was gong to give more but I looked them up and they spend nearly half their income on administrative expenses. That really ticked me off! I am looking for a charity where I can give a one time gift and be able to say to MIL, I got “this” for a family in need. heifer was great because $120.00 bought a goat and I could buy her a little toy goat to represent the gift. They were bad because they wouldn’t even send her a letter acknowledging the gift, that was my responsibility. And, someone is getting rich in administrative costs at the donors expense. Any great ideas about what I can get her?
