A number of Felix's writings and Pharaoh's article on how to Make Your Trading Truly Worthwhile emphasize good reasons to donate to worthy causes.
The down side of this is that a number of people decided to start cyber-begging at the FPA. "Send me money" is not a worthy cause.
I have had to delete a number of posts and strange emails because of this. The downside is that there were also some causes that seemed worthy, but were not verifiable charities. Those also got deleted. Now I've made this thread.
The rules:
1. You can not ask for money for yourself or your personal friends or relatives in this thread.
2. Any other good cause is acceptable, even if it's not a recognized charity. If someone you don't personally know has a facebook page asking for donations, that is acceptable in this thread. Recognized charities that aren't involved in scandals are also acceptable.
3. Please be familiar with the cause. If it turns out later to have been a scam, I will expect the person who posted it to explain why he or she endorsed giving to an unworthy cause here.
