Of course I support organisations that are not directly related to language.
Apart from the fact that all organisations use language, and many are international - you could say all organisations are language related.
It is not their primary purpose, however, although on second thoughts, I translate for one, a museum, and my father translated for another - the Bible Society, which has been a pioneer in translation work ever since it began.

What about medical work? Even our walking club has international connections! Others support sports clubs, local schools ... ▲ Collapse

I do support some non-language organizations but as a translator. Over the years, I have translated pro-bono for Equaily Now, Humana, Médecins du Monde, Médecins sans Frontières, Mercy Corps…

Avaaz, StayEuropean, CrowdJustice, occasional donations to UNICEF, Red Cross, etc. Probably a few others that don't come to mind right now.
Regarding nos. 2 and 3, as the UK parliament has given up its job of holding the government to account, I feel I should support private initiatives that have taken over that task.
| | | | | Quite a few, but not as a translator | May 23, 2021 |
The Carter Center, Habitat for Humanity, Greenpeace, Doctors without Borders, Action on Smoking and Health, Heifer International, Public Broadcasting, Gorilla Foundation, National Anti-Vivisection Society, and several more.
