One of the great financial dilemmas is how to donate to charity when finances already feel tight.
The Huffington Post has some great expert tips. First, decide what cause you care about most.
Second, figure out what you're going to give up to pay for it. Cigarettes? Lattes? A subscription for a magazine you never read?
Remember that a small donation is better than money. Charities need numbers of donors to build their case for grants, even if the donations are small.
