Salam,
Al hamodullah I give directly to them, as we then know the money where it is going.
2.5% of your income after deductions to the masjed. Zakat Al Mal
10 dollars per person for Ramadan Zakat - Zakat Al Fitr
Anything else is sudica (charity).
We give if we can, if we are in debt then we need to get out of that and back above zero.
Its hard in today's world not to accept credit so may Allah help those who are in debt inshAllah amin.
Peace
