It doesn't matter that you can't always afford to donate money, there is much you can do to make this world a better place by giving of your time, donating blood, or giving things away you no longer need.
There are many more worthy organizations than the ones listed here. Always be certain that your donations will be used appropriately. It is all too common for excessive amounts to go to administration or for scams to appear to be charities. Do your homework even when you just want to help. One good place to research is Charity Navigator.
