Maybe we can help. Just as The New York Times tries to vet politicians’ statements, just as we recommend the best televisions on Wirecutter, we’ve also selected nonprofits to guide readers to some that are particularly effective. That’s the role of the New York Times [Communities Fund](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnb_bQP0S8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0Y29tbXVuaXRpZXNmdW5kLm9yZy8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzEyMjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTExMTYxJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MzcxNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZYPQcY1ltyXG4FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), an updated version of what used to be called the Neediest Cases Fund. Over 112 years, Neediest Cases has raised $330 million for charities, but we thought it was time to revise it a bit. So we [updated the name](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnb_bQP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8xNC9vcGluaW9uL255dC1jb21tdW5pdGllcy1mdW5kLWFib3V0Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzEyMjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTExMTYxJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MzcxNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZYPQcY1ltyXG4FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) and professionalized the effort with the help of Focusing Philanthropy, a California organization that promotes highly effective giving. We encourage you to visit the [Communities Fund website](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnb_bQP0S8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0Y29tbXVuaXRpZXNmdW5kLm9yZy8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzEyMjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTExMTYxJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MzcxNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZYPQcY1ltyXG4FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) and check out the 10 nonprofits on the list. They do everything from providing relief in wars to helping children attend school or learn to read — both abroad and at home. The Fund will cover credit card costs so that 100 cents of the dollar goes to the nonprofit. Many of us at The Times went into journalism because we thought it was a way of making a difference. We try to do that with our coverage, and also at a personal level with our donations — and that’s why many of us on the staff support the Communities Fund and contribute to it. We think of it as a way to work with readers and with the Times institutionally to bring a bit of cheer in the holiday season. For 15 years I’ve had my own [holiday giving guide](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnb_bQP0TiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8xOC9vcGluaW9uL2hvbGlkYXktZ2l2aW5nLWdpZnQtZ3VpZGUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIzMTIyOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTExNjEmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUzNzE0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgplg9BxjWW3JcbgUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~), and that continues while joining forces with the Communities Fund. I’d like to thank readers for donating about $3 million so far to the three organizations on [my list](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnb_bQP0SzaHR0cHM6Ly9rcmlzdG9maW1wYWN0Lm9yZy8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzEyMjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTExMTYxJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MzcxNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZYPQcY1ltyXG4FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD).

There has been a revolution in philanthropy over the last 20 years, and this drives both the Communities Fund and my corner of it. Donors demand more evidence of impact, for they want to generate the highest possible return from their charitable contributions. That’s a sound impulse and has led us to update this [annual Times drive](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnb_bQP0S8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0Y29tbXVuaXRpZXNmdW5kLm9yZy8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzEyMjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTExMTYxJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MzcxNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZYPQcY1ltyXG4FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), so that we can do the best job for readers and our communities.
