My wife and I set a goal each year, we've been doing ok recently so we bumped up how much we budgeted for it. We've got our direct deposit for our paychecks set up to dump a percentage of each paycheck into a separate account. When we see something we want to give to something we pull the money out. If you don't plan to do it and set the money aside ahead of time it's much less likely that you'll do it.
This year a good chunk of it went to a local charter school that's getting off the ground. They were trying to get money for a used copier and a bunch of books to create a small library.
Cool story bro, but I have never heard of someone that gives to charity on the lower levels needing to set up dedicated accounts.
I am sure they loved the $20 you sent in.
I have posted a $100 humane society I just did for the lulz here not to long ago, I am sure you should have a few receipts.
