Looks cool. I don't give to charity because I'm still establishing myself, and I don't think I'd give to charity in the future because it's such a cop out.

I'd much rather kick someone with an idea a bunch of money, or put it towards something that benefits my community. But when it's this easy, who really cares about 50 bucks here and there?

Lots of people in the third world live on as little as $1 a day, so $50 is a huge help to them. And if you really want to keep it local, there are always local food banks and the like that you could donate directly to. It is good to volunteer too, for them and even more so for you.
