I'm not familiar with www.thechristmasboxhouse.org. Never heard of them before. I'd have to do some research before I'd know whether they are good, bad, or indifferent. And who they are affiliated with.
There are certain charities that I'd never dream of giving a dime to. Some, because I don't agree with what they stand for: and others because the bulk of the money goes for "operating expenses" -- and not for the supposed hyped-up purpose.
Everyone should investigate charities thoroughly before forking over your hard-earned cash. Don't give to something just because it sounds good, or because their sales pitch tugs on your heartstrings: good con men know how to advertise. You might just be handing over the sweat of your brow to support some scam artist's fancy lifestyle.
I'd never give one red cent to United Way. United Way supports organizations and "charities" that represent ideas and philosophies with which I utterly disagree. There's no way that they'll ever be seeing any cash from me.
Now, having said all of that.......as to the DAZ example in this thread:
IMO, discussions about a DAZ charitable promotion belong at DAZ. shrug Personally, I wouldn't be inclined to discuss a Renderosity charity drive in the Commons at DAZ, either. I'd talk about it here..........in the Community Center forum.
