Unfortunately your poll does not allow checking of multiple choices.

We support torah learning- so we always give to yeshivas first.

I have heard once that paying your kids tuition can be concidered maaser.

I was thinking of saving it and using it for family. But its so unheard of even tho its the first place to give it halachicly. Confused

Mostly give to organizations straight or through campaigns.

I would DEF say a mixture of the above; also I have yizkor money (from when we say Yizkor on yomtov) to give so I have that to consider, also.

Sorry, feel free not to answer if you want, but how can you use maaser money for that? It's not tzedaka. Did you ask a rav?

We give it to a certain breslov yeshiva that also provides meals for poor boys who learn there. We also help support a breslov kiruv organization.

We have direct withdrawal from our bank account every month that goes to support a family in kollel in Israel.

In case you don't know there are 2 different mitzvos here ... #1 maaser and #2 tzedaka ... giving maaser as you know is 1/10 of earnings ... giving tzedaka is after maaser and there is no set amount. giving tzedaka is first to immediate family, extended family, friends, neighbors, community and then beyond ... and most people actually don't know this which I learned in grade school.
