A friend and I are hoping to do some fund raising events for charity, and would like some info on established, well-respected charities.
The focus is on people, not animals, at this time.
If you have any charities that you would like to suggest, please reply with some info on them. Thanks!
I am interested as well. After doing a bunch of volunteer work for several organizations and putting together fundraisers, my wife has discovered many shady people using the shady charities to support themselves. An example of this is posting a poor dog that needs surgery onto Facebook or other social media sites. After the goal has been reached, they continue to ask for donations. How do you know your money is going to go where it’s supposed to?
Bump!
I photographed the founder of Wings of Hope last week and was impressed with what she does. This charity is going to be getting a lot of attention in a month or so after the magazine I shot for publishes the article. Here’s an old TT report on her. taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ … 2003524739
Another possibility is Eden engweb.eden.org.tw/ They work with disabled people. I used to live near their office and my wife and I once went in to see if we could help out but they never got back to us about it.
You could also try contacting Daisy at handfulofsapphires.org/ She generally knows what’s going on.
World Vision Taiwan—we sponsor three kids through them in Central America (even though we don’t live in Taiwan anymore we still continue) and my stepchild visited a Ethnic-Chinese camp sponsored by them in Northern Thailand. 
They do great work.
There are many causes in Taiwan. Just met with a priest today that takes care of more than 500 kids here in Taiwan. Mostly kids with abusive parents. He gets donations from companies that makes him able to continue, but it seemed like he was running low on funding. No website, only an email. PM me if interested.
Thanks to all who made a suggestion.
I am still very much open to others!
I know Genesis is legit. They help PVS sufferers, the homeless and elderly. All it takes to help is drop your receipts (tong yi fa piao) into one of their bins.
