A gift from the heart: Viator's favorite charities

Tired of receiving gifts you don't need?

Or maybe you can't figure out what to get that person on your list who has everything they could ever need?

Rather than a conventional gift, how about donating to charity this year. Give the gift of charity by donating in someone's honor or asking that people donate to a charity of your choice rather than bring you another gift to add to your pile.

Giving to charities can be fulfilling, but often deciding what charity to donate to can be overwhelming. Here's our short list of a few charities that allow you to donate towards a variety of causes to help make your decision easier.
