If you won a million pound how much would you like to think you'd give to chairty?

£100,000

I'd rather do what the woman did off At Home with the Braithwaites and set up my own charitable project. At least I could then ensure the funds were going to the best places.

WOW!!!
The amount of ***** oh this forum, the highest was £0.00, im guessing all of them are public school children who feels that the poor should be poor and the rich should be richer!!!

Nope, I believe that the ambitious, hardworking and intelligent poor should be way richer than the lazy rich. However i wouldn't donate any serious amount of money because a million isn't that much. I'd need it all for my own life (need is a relative word of course) and yes I am selfish, but i believe you really cannot find anyone who is genuinly not selfish.

I would firstly put it in the bank for a year to gain interest, after which I'd give £350,000 to my parents, share out £400,000 with my other relatives, pay off my student debt, pay off my parents' mortgage, give about £10,000 to my brother, then split the remainder 75% for me and 25% for charity.

Don't know, not alot I don't think.

I'd buy a nice house/car and have some nice holidays.

Maybe a quarter? I'd like to say I'd give half, but I don't think that's realistic... I want my own flat in London, so that'd take up most of it anyway!

Sweet **** all.

You're telling me that with a million pounds you cannot by a nice house, a normal car and buy nice things if you give some to charity. I'm thinking your needs are like a mansion and mercedez benz and eating caviar everyday. TBH, i don't mind if thats true cos we all have ambition, maybe yours is to have a nice big house with a sports car

general rule of thumb. 10% when talking bout less than a billion. Anything greater than that 1%. The rest I'd invest maybe in some shop/resto whatever that gives people around the area jobs.

Charity begins at home. I would take care of the folks/siblings before thinking about anything else.

And also to have your own name plastered all over it I would imagine, celeb style.

Interesting.... can I ask why?

I'd be inclined to give a much larger percentage of an amount over a billion.

Probably about £20,000

Zero. I would only give money to the charity if I had over 5 million pounds in wealth.

0.

so you'd give £99,999,999 if you won £999,999,999, but only £10,000,000 if you won an extra £1?

No more than I give now. Whether you own a million quid or a thousand quid if you want to donate to charity nothing is stopping you. I always find it amusing when people say they would give a chunk to charity if they won a lot of money but they wouldn't now. If you own a million and would give 10% to charity what's stopping you giving 10% of your current savings to charity?

maybe they don't have any savings?

but I completely agree

because 10% of peoples current savings is more than they can afford to lose rather than with a million it'll not make so much of a dent.
I'd give a bit to the Adam Watene fund but not to anywhere else.

I'd like to think I could donate £10,000, which is what I selected. In reality however, I would probably be unlikely to give anything.

If you won a million pound how much would you like to think you'd give to chairty?
