In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness. In sociology, the concept of community has led to significant debate, and sociologists are yet to reach agreement on a definition of the term. There were ninety-four discrete definitions of the term by the mid-1950s. Traditionally a "community" has been defined as a group of interacting people living in a common location. The word is often used to refer to a group that is organized around common values and is attributed with social cohesion within a shared geographical location, generally in social units larger than a household. The word can also refer to the national community or global community. The word "community" is derived from the Old French communité which is derived from the Latin communitas (cum, "with/together" + munus, "gift"), a broad term for fellowship or organized society. Since the advent of the Internet, the concept of community no longer has geographical limitations, as people can now virtually gather in an online community and share common interests regardless of physical location.

First of all, who are you to say that animal shelters & parks are not as worthy/needy of funding as your program? People donate to non-profits that directly effect their own lives. I donate $$ to my local community radio station. It might not seem like priority to you, but it is to me b/c I listen to that station everyday & my life would be empty without it. I also donate my time to Big Brothers Big Sisters, because it's an established, well-known organization and I am directly involved in the life of my Little Sister. Perhaps you need to publicize your organization more. Issue press releases about the work that you're doing, start a direct mail campaign, have regular events (bake sales, car washes, concerts) to get the word out.

Try to find the causes of the attacks and you will know what to do to prevent them. Participate, in your community and in a larger scale, to request the government to stop its abusive foreign policy, and to negotiate -its way of out Irak, Afghanistan, its support to Israel, Darfur, Somalia, its violence towards Palestinians, etc. I could go on for ages. It's violence against communism and everything that doesn't stand for the "American way of life", the open markets, consumption, etc. Only with equality, social and economical, with respect for different cultures, they will succeed against terrorism.
