Some local charities that I donate to regularly (with tax write offs):

  • The local diaper bank: Did you know that you cannot use SNAP/WIC/Food Stamps benefits to purchase diapers? They are among one of the most necessary items to get a kid into daycare and parents can't afford them regularly. This was a regular problem in the pre-covid world and even more so https://www.wbur.org/news/2022/06/01/diaper-banks-inflation-parents-babies-expensive

  • A local group that refubishes musical instruments to be used at local schools for music programs.

  • the local independent radio station and my college radio station

  • smaller speciality animal rescues like the local wildlife or reptile rescue

If you don't care about getting a tax write off, you could also see what the local mutual aid groups in the area need and start filtering money to them over the year.
