If you just won 100 million dollars, what percentage would you give to charity?

Truth? None. I have needed help for almost 2 years, and have been denied, over and over. Why should I line the pockets of various people in the name of 'charity' when 90% of what comes in to them goes to pay people that don't need help?

I would give half

I would set up trust funds to enable education for those who can't afford it. I would look at housing and jobs for those who need them. I would look at shelters for battered wives/husbands and for abused children. I would set up places to look after all the abused animals so they could live what life they have left in comfort. I would see to it these things were funded as long as the money held out and help them to be self funded. I would want to take part in what was happening.

I would give none to charity you think they return the favor bull****! I would however find a strugling church that is in Gods favor and give to them though!
I have a 4 year old with cardio myopothy that will need a heart transplant and charity tells you well we will pray for her come-on why give to them, they only use it for theirselves!

25% to charity for abuse, 50% to start my own charity for abused children.

After taxes 10%.

All I need for myself, family and close friends is about 30 million. The rest suppose to go to charity. It's rightfully theirs.

I think the question should be asked differently. God is the one that would have given these funds to me. So the correct way to ask this is; "How much would you keep."

Im not sure. I would pray and ask God how much of it I could keep and how much He wanted back.

All of it. Chances are, I didn't get that much money legally, and I don't know how to spend it.

100% and be free

Absolutely none, though I might endow a scolarship or two.

Much to the cancer ward at the Royal Children Hospital ...

Some to a charity for the starving in Africa ...

1 million to each of my family ...

1 million for myself ...




They need more than I

40%

i would say about 30%

about 45%

Half.

If is was in the US, it would be about 65% at least. Because that is how much taxes you pay. The charities it would go to:
First, to help support those starving politicians. They would get the vast majority.

Than most of what was left would go to illegal aliens on welfare.

The small percentage that was left would probably buy a hamburger for some starving kid in California.

After I pay off all my bills, if there is anything left, I would give about 25% to charity and use another 25% to start my own charities.

I would give most of it to charity. What does any one person need with more than a few million for themselves unless they are unbelievably greedy hoarders?

i wouldn't go through a charity organization, but give directly to hospitals, schools, homeless shelters, etc ... no overhead or administrative wastes

All of it. By setting up a charitable trust, I could have a nice income to live off of, while the entire principal plus a portion of earnings would go to my chosen charities.

10 - 20% over a range of charity's... I couldnt be gready and keep it all to myself.

I would give money to only charities that are local to me and i would not be pressured into giving any to other ones. Id stay with the same.

I'd give it to actual people, rather than charities...that way, I could see it being used

sum of use ppl r selfish gits!! not givin muni cuz they dnt deserve it?????????? wat bout them poor we kids hu suffer everyday from abusers cuz they cant sick up 4 themselves or the ones hu ave cancers and all sorts!!! use r jus so selfish!!! i would keep enuf so that i wouldn ave any future muni probs, lyk buy a house instead of renting, buy a car n put sumaway for the future, the rest i would split up into different charities for kids, cancer research and animals!!!

Although I would not give any of the original winnings, I would arrange some sort of major investment that would produce a constant and continuous residual income, and then I would arrange to make continuous automatic direct deposits of 10% of the investment income to a single charity of my choice ... then I would make occasional donations to various other charities throughout the year.

$1

If it was the lottery about 25%(govt takes 50% off the top) Then I'd endow some scholarships. My kids homes would be paid for and my grandchildren can go to college if that's their path. The local high school would have their arts dept refurbished. The local library would have more computers.
The local youth center would get some new equipment. The youth center here is very well supervised and for some kids the lunches, dinners and snacks are the best meals they have.
The local food pantries would be well stocked, they're in trouble this year with the unemployment getting higher.
I just need enough to pay my bills and maybe my dream trip back to the Netherlands.

I would keep enough to live very comfortable for the rest of my life and enough that all of my children would always be taken care, enough for all of my neices and nephrews and of coarse my parents and friends. Then that would probably leave about 60 to 70% I would give to churchs that I know need it and I would have my own charity group and give it directly to the people that need it. I do not trust all of these organizations today. I know too many people that have worked their ass off all of their life and when they need some help, NO you make too much money, you own too nice of a car. But if you didn't work at all and you never tried, we would take care of you. That is such BS.

20% tithe
50% scholarship program
30% me & my family

10% as tithe.

10% as charity.

10% to each of my siblings. (5)

And the rest to me.

After taxes, I would tithe, then give 20% of what would be left.

Twenty-five percent

Well, if you take out taxes, then discount to present value, calculate your estimated life expectancy ....screw the calculations...half. Now the key question...What charity would that be?

75%. I don't need millions to make me happy.

I'd give 60 million to charity and distribute about half the rest among friends and family. The rest is mine.

Between 15 and 30%.

I would give 90 million to carefully chosen charities and the other 10 million would be invested and spent on securing my children's future, paying off my sisters' homes and taking care of their debt, taking care of my parents, etc. . Of course I would take a cruise and world tour or two as well! Oh, and get 2 hour massages everyday. I don't think that is being toooo greedy! WAIT..... did I spend my 10 mill already?!?!

I think id give $10 mill

Ten percent.

i'd give 25 percent to charity

Truth be told, I'd start up a few charities of my own. Would also hire staff to check out the veracity of a few charities so that my millions would be spent wisely.

=0- charity begins at home. Go home, I would re-imburse anyone who ever helped my with inyeredt though.

If you are talking about after tax dollars, I'd give away half.

In the past I took help and meals from a catholic mission and after I was able to get on my feet I started giving to "Salesian Missions"- P.O.Box 30--New Rochelle;NY 10802-0030---they care for basicallly children from many countrys around the world. I know most of their donations go to support there efforts. If I had that kind of money; first I would set up a foundation in my first name; I would then give partially to the 2 charitys that have already helped me out. #2) Paralyzed Veterans of America--7Mill Brook Rd.-Wilton;NH 03086-0908--They help Service people that need extra help because of there injuries. These charities have helped me out greatly and I will still give no matter what happens because (and this might sound odd to some of you) these charitys are partly my purpose because anything I give goes toward good. My needs are small compared to most people but I would also give to something you never heard of: Kelmscott--info@kelmscott.org----they breed unique horses and use to have a yearly festival (but money dryed up for the festival)--I would change that. Ive always felt it was funny how when people get money (they always want to invest in something to get more money /headaches too)-Why not wisely invest it so you can live and enjoy life--give a little take a little? ) Whats so wrong with that plan ??

zero percent

none ass hole

None to charity. Will give some to my school though.
But when I do occassionaly give, then I guess I can be more liberal.

75% . Other people and the environment needs it more than I do. 25 million is more than enough.

If I won that amount I reckon I would give away about 90% of it - either through currently recognised charities, or by setting up charitable trusts for "gaps" in the market - or to support people who are in the situation I have been in.
Example: we run school trips to France and Germany -I would set up a fund to pay for that, so the kids studying French and German in my school would be able to do that without parents worrying about the cost;
I have been studying part time while working full time - it has been a struggle to meet both commitments, I would like therefore to set up a fund for people in that position to be able to take time off unpaid by their employers to write their theses, without losing out financially;
I would like to set up a fund to buy uniforms for boy scouts, so that boys can take part without parents worrying about he cost of the uniform.
Stuff like that, really.
