Video: The Top 10 Charities by Every Major Cause (by Donations) | wyde.org explainers
The single biggest charity in America for each major cause. One per cause. Here's the list, by private donations. Hunger: Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger-relief network. Children's health: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Community and human services: United Way. Disaster and humanitarian relief: Direct Relief. Housing: Habitat for Humanity. Youth: Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Global child sponsorship: Compassion International. Cancer: the American Cancer Society. Environment: The Nature Conservancy. Animals: the ASPCA. These are real, trusted giants doing vital work. But notice something: they all run on the same old model. You donate, and you trust. The millions of people who fund these causes have no real say in how they're run. WYDE is the platform changing that. WYDE is the Impact Exchange, the rails where a cause can go public, be funded continuously, and be governed by its own members, with everything verifiable. Every cause on this list, hunger, health, housing, and more, could one day go public on WYDE and be governed by the people who care about it. The first cause, $EAT, is already live, for ending hunger. ▶ See where causes are headed: https://wyde.org ▶ Watch next: "Top Causes by Donations vs Revenue" + "What Are Cause Coins?" Charities are listed as leading organizations in their cause by private donations (per public rankings such as Forbes); rankings update over time. These organizations are referenced for educational purposes; this video implies no affiliation or endorsement. WYDE is the Impact Exchange where causes go public and become member-governed; a cause coin is a governance token, not an investment. top charities, best charities, biggest charities in america, top charity by cause, feeding america, st jude, united way, habitat for humanity, charities by donations, largest charities, best charities to donate to, charity list, philanthropy, future of giving, cause coins, WYDE, EAT, doing good, nonprofits, give back
