After celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Day most of us go back to business as normal. I challenge you to not do that this year.

In fact I suggest that you continue his dream by helping one of the Top 10 Charities below. Your tax refund is around the corner. Instead of just paying off all the bills and buying the flat screen television try giving to one of the below.  Many are down in Haiti trying to help out. They could use your donation.

While most Americans are very generous to charities, many of us have become skeptical. How are they spending our money? How much of it goes to the cause I intended it for? Am I donating money just so some executive can earn more money in a year than I will earn in a decade? All very real questions and questions a responsible person should ask.

10) American Red Cross – spends 89.2% of monies raised on the cause, but pays their top executive in excess of half a million a year.

9) American Diabetes Foundation – has one of the lowest administrative costs of the group, a sign of a well run organization.

8)  Cystic Fibrosis – had excellent numbers in two of the three categories, but their top executive pay pulled them down slightly, coming in at $576,000 a year

7) Christian Children’s Fund – had good numbers across the board and spends 82% of all money on the children.

6) CARE – spends an amazing 90% of all money raised on the cause. The only category that pulled them down was their executive pay.
