And do you intend to give more in 'the future', or if you start making more? Are you already satisfied with how much you give? Do you not believe in any charities?
I'm interested in this, and it's not something I can really discuss with people due to its privacy.
General estimates welcome!

I volunteer at a pet rescue and frequently take animals home for a week or two to give them a break from the rescue. Not many people give $$ to pet related causes.
I rather donate my time to charities than give money.
In what way do you do this? Does it, in the end, help them receive money from others?
Apologies if I'm too enquiring. :-P
Well during high school I ended up volunteering 2 years of weekends at a local Soup Kitchen (Contrary to popular belief...it was actually incredibly fun. I wish I didn't stop [had to focus on school work:(]). I'm trying to find some places to volunteer at right now while I find a job but its slow goings.
I suppose you could say it helped them receive money from others (indirectly that is). I mean, I think most people who rather not volunteer their time out of lack of it or simple apathy, rather donate some money
~13%
I have no income, but I volunteer at two separate places every week

I work at the Salvation Army where I signed for $1.00 of each check to be donated. I know it's not much but it does add up. I only get paid $8.00 an hour and feel much of my work contributes to the charity itself.
15% but it's to one organization.
Where the hell is that decimal key...
Whatever percentage of my taxes that go to aid plus all the change I drop into charity boxes after buying something.

I'm not sure what % it is, but I have £10 a month going to a charity account from my salary, this is tax deductible for me so it's only £8, my employer then matches this making it up to £20 that goes into a special account which I get charity cheques for.
Only problem is, I keep forgetting to give any of the money to charity so there's a couple of hundred pounds sitting there that I need to find a good charity to give the money to.
