As you know from my recent Blogathon efforts, I believe in supporting charities that are trying to make the world a better place. I chose to support Lance Armstrong Foundation, not only because of their efforts to help and cure those afflicted with cancer, but also because of the history and reputation of the namesake and founder of the organization. I believe that everyone should all try to do what they can to help others, as one day it will be you or I that is in need of help.

When you decided to donate to a particular charity, though, it's a good idea to investigate it to see if your donation dollars really go towards those they claim to help or if a lot of the dollars are wasted on overhead or other expenses. You can got to a site such as Charity Navigator, America's largest charity evaluator, to find out if a particular organization would make good use of your dollars. As you can see, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has a pretty good rating based on all the variables the site measures.

This post was sponsored by business owner and philanthropist Navtej Kohli, another doing his part to provide aid and relief to those in need. You can get more information about him and the Navtej Kohli Foundation by reading his Navtej Kohli Livejournal page, his Navtej Kohli Typekey profile or his Navtej Kohli Linkedin profile.
