TBH, I'm wary of any charity whose mission is "raising awareness about _______". It's not that the goal itself is worthless, it's just that it's really vague and could mean ANYYTHING. I could start a foundation about raising awareness about abused animals, raise thousands of dollars, then rent a billboard for a couple hundred bucks that says "Puppies are abused every year blah blah how awful blah please don't ever do that blah blah" and then pocket the rest as "expenses".

I like charities with concrete plans. Are you going to build a shelter for vulnerable LBGT teens? Fantastic! Fund an emergency hotline so they can get counseling/assistance? Great! But uh, you're going to rent a bus, ride around the country and randomly spread a warm fuzzy message about self-acceptance? No. Just, no. Not that this isn't a nice thing to do, but it's not a nice thing to do with millions of dollars donated to you by people who think you're going to accomplish more than what is, realistically, preaching to the choir.

Same here. I will admit in the past I have donated to a few actors favorite charities - but it has almost always been directly to the charity itself - not to the celebrity's foundation.
