Charity Resources Page
I'm keeping this here for now as a log of donation sites I see recommended.
The log is to keep track of these sources so that I can put them on my actual website once I've done research on each one since ideally the website would have more eyes on it than my ponytown github.
in case you don't get to see it, this is a charity navigator to help you find out more about the reliability of the charities you plan on donating to.

Below is a copy and paste of the description of a video by Unpoetic Justice. I trust her in terms of her research on where this money goes. I will add some notes that were not included in the description but included in her video just to give you guys an idea of what these sources are. A lot of the notes are direct quotes from what she says in her video.
Operation Olive Branch amplifies aid requests made by Palestinians. Bellow are also gofundme's found on Operation Olive Branch. At the time of her posting the video those specific gofundme's are still rather behind on their goals. I'll probobly check back and see if they still are later and provide new gofundme's once those goals are met.

Please check out the programs below. There are four categories: organizations that support global causes and charities that target either Sudan, Palestine, or the Congo, specifically. If you are donating under $25, please consider selecting the option of covering the processing fees for the payment (normally, the amount is pennies on the dollar).

In order to research the validity of the above organizations, I primarily used the website “Charity Navigator” (linked below) as well as scouring their sites for previous works, outside new articles and, of course, Reddit posts since Reddit is very “people” based.

Donations related to seals:
This one specifically is for seals from where I live, but I'll add a few other ones. I love seals very much and if any of them went extinct I would be very upset.
There's barely 1,600 monk seals in the world!!
They're severely endangered due to their being impacted by things like fishing equipment, hooks and nets being caught in the water, as well as catching toxoplasmosis, a disease carried by house cats.
