    Local animal shelters. I'd love to buy a ranch and hire people to run it and then empty out shelters and have all the critters live somewhere lovely and be happy :)

    I would give a million to a local homeless shelter. I truly don't trust the big name charities with all of their corporate red tape and high priced executives.

    * Humane Society of King County
    * Planned Parenthood-(F' you Susan G Komen)
    * Battered Women's Shelter
    * YWCA
    * Fare Start

    and a bunch of others that I would have to research.

    That's why I would want to keep it local, or like deliver things directly to people, rather than just hand over a ton of cash.

    Yeah that's the best way to go. There are so many worth causes out there, I know animals are just one I'd want to help, along with people to help senior citizens in nursing homes, medical research, immigrant rights.

    I like Norm's idea, he made me change my mind. !!
    I'd love to fund an organization that I could oversee and make my business -- since I won MEGA and all ...and have no need to work, I could make helping others my work.
    Children in need would be the emphasis. It sucks of me to say it but I would want to spend the most where it might impact the most.

    I like Donors Choose, where you can contribute to projects for various schools across the country.

    Planned Parenthood. And I'd set up something involving adoption - that'll be my Norm-inspired foundation, maybe something in India (our daughter is adopted from there).

    If I won the big jackpot all for myself, I would give $5 million to the Jimmy Fund and $5 million to the Children's Hospital of Boston.
