To say not to give to "ultra-orthodox" organizations who do not
support reform rabbis as being authoratative is the most disgusting
remark I ever heard in this group. 
Do you give charity as a political support, or only to people
whom have the same opinion as you?
 You give charity to any person who honestly needs it.
I am orthodox and disagree with the reform movement totally,
I also disagree with some of the "ultra-orthodox" opinions, but
if any of these needs charity I will give it to them.

 One of the things that was told to me that I never forget is,
"if you what to succeed, never turn away anyone who streaches
a hand forward asking for money".

I believe that for major organizations you can check if they
really need the money and are a honest group, but don't tell
us not to give because they don't agree with your political/religious
beliefs. If you don't like a group you don't have to give to them
but don't tell others not to give.
