I am currently donating to(I like being specific so I will say them):
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(RSPCA for short), one of Australia's best groups to donate to because you know where your cash is going. Regular bank Donations. I think PETA is a terrible organisation and splits the charity field up resulting in good organisations like the traditional animal welfare RSPCA getting less funding.
Guidedogs Victoria, also regular account donations. Training Dogs to help guide blind people and keep them company is important.
Ronald McDonald House Charities (linked to McDonald's, but ive always found them to be good for local stuff)... Always donate my loose change when eating there.
Caritas International (only fully international Charity I donate to, Catholic Church's global charity), Regular monthly Account Donations.
Occasionally Saint Vincent's too, but that is rare for me now too.
Also been thinking of regular giving to the Royal Children's hospital Good Friday Appeal, but never gone through with it.
