Wherever you see the most need, to those of you who can give, my colleagues and I hope that this inaugural Times Opinion giving guide can offer you an array of options for where to put your money to good use. A few disclaimers: There are many worthy organizations deserving of support; the ones we’re highlighting here are a few that have come to the attention of our writers over the past year. The authors have no direct connection to any organization unless specifically mentioned in what they’ve written. If you’re interested in any organization mentioned, please go directly to its website. Neither the authors nor The Times will be able to address queries about the groups or facilitate donations. We’ll be adding entries to this collection on a rolling basis this week, so if nothing you see so far is making your wallet twitch, please do check back.
