If someone gave you $100K to give to the charities/causes of your choice...

Which charities would you choose, and how much of the $100K would you give to each?

Wow, unusual question. I'd give a big chunk to Catholic Charities and let them parse it out. Might direct the other half to some of the parochial schools I or my kids attended. Catholic schools at the elementary or high school level tend to pay their teachers rather modestly and often operate on a shoestring budget as a labor of love.

I would give every penny to children's hospitals that research and treat childhood diseases.

The best thing I can do to help the poor is not be one of them.
