Give a Pointful gift. (my daughter coined this - the opposite to Pointless)

Our family has decided to start a new tradition- where on the occasion of a birthday celebration the 'birthday person' gets to allocate $50 towards a charitable organisation of their choice. At Christmas we have $100 set aside to buy presents to put under local department stores 'giving trees' (each of our children will get to choose something to be bought and wrapped to put under these trees to be given to disadvantaged children.)

I have written about what we are doing and the rationale behind it- plus a big list of organisations and the options/choices/costs.
