I was just thinking again about charity on Steemit. There's massive potential for people to be donating some of what they make here to good causes. The problem may be in knowing which are genuine and worthy charities. On the Tsu service charities could be verified by sending their credentials to the company, but there's no such registry here. We have to rely on doing our own research. I just found out that today is Giving Tuesday, so I'm donating to a few charities I've found.

- Papillon Charity @papilloncharity. I got to know these guys on Tsu. They do great work in South Aftica.

Thank you so very, very much for setting this wonderful example as we enter this holiday giving season! We need all the help we can get from the steem community to make this first ever block chain transparent global humanitarian aid foundation effective, as we are already demonstrating we can be on small amounts in big ways via the power of linked steemitizens working together!

Yours in Service,
Top 100 STEEM Witness @SirCork Founder @YouAreHOPE
YouAreHOPE brings Help, Opportunity, Purpose & Empowerment to disadvantaged people worldwide via our Agents of HOPE who deliver food, water, clothing & more with the help of our generous community & the border-less power of the STEEM cryptocurrency.
We have the "Verified" system that issues badges. A charity system like that would be great. Charity verified badge & a charity directory would be great too. We used to do a lot of charity contests on Tsū too.
This is a great idea. That way each and everytime we knew it was going to a real charity and a charity that puts more of the money to help people and not in the pockets of the CEO and board members.
Great choice and there are so many more.
Thanks for getting the word out.
Thank you for the mention Steve. I am enjoying learning more about the charities I am supporting.
Thanks also for the link to @uwelang 's Charity Weekly - hopefully he will have time to put out another one soon with more new charities on steemit.
I made a similar post just now donating to Wikipedia :)

Wikipedia needs their own steemit account so we can help them here
Dang thats some lovely stuff you are doing there <3. Ive been giving away SBD for every 100 followers I get. Greatly support you bro. It doesn't pay back much but you do it for the good feel that you get.
Cheers <3
I don't expect anything in return, but I want to encourage others.
I know <3 I see you are a great curator on the platform. You are one of the most noticeable ones I see around ^^
The main thing in Christmas is not to open gifts, but to open your heart. You did a very good job. It's more pleasant to give than to receive.
Good setting this example! Hopefully more whales will follow especially now in holiday season. People/animals in need shouldnt be forgotten
I agree with the platforms ability to effect the world problems,thru grassroot groups and org's,or even one person at a time.
Thanks for helping !
I can certainly spare a few SBDs for a good cause.
Thanks for the suggestions.
