My company is offering to match Hurricane Katrina donations fairly generously. The catch, however, is that the matching only applies to two charities - and I have refused to donate to these two in the past, directing my money and time elsewhere. (One has had multiple criminal indictments, employee stealing, and spends a huge percentage of their donations on overhead. The other I don't like on religious and philosophical grounds.)

I feel it's important that I help in some way. We can donate to other charities as we like, but the matching will still go to one of these two. Period.

So, because I'm conflicted, a poll:
[Poll #565386]
Edited to add: The reason I'm conflicted is that I don't like the options:
1) The most bang for the buck involves donating to organizations that I don't support.
2) Donating to an organization I do support still gives money to ones that I don't.
3) Complaining to our HR (from indirect experience) doesn't accomplish anything, and gets one branded as a troublemaker.
4) Math isn't really that hard.

We'll call one "Evangelist Navy" and the other "Untied Way".
