I feel strongly about a number of issues so I looked for
charities that address these
Events in my life led me to decide certain charities are
important to me
Personal experience of particular charities led me to
admire them
Media coverage helps me identify causes/charities to
support
I know someone who works for the charity, I respect
them and so I believe the charity does good work
I have supported certain charities simply because they
asked me to
