There are many poor people around the world. Unfortunately, just giving them money has proven not to be helpful in the long run. Much better to help them create jobs, provide medical and technical assistance and so on, which allows the people to sustain the improvements. Experience has shown that large government funding often becomes the fortunes in the hands of the rulers or owners of the markets. Funds and materials sent to Iraq, Afganistan and various African countries have largely not ended up as planned. Not only that, but the items sent are inappropriate in some cases. Tents sent to Haiti were less preferred than tarps. Other items were great charitable writeoffs, but useless for the people who needed real help. Even Oprah, with her school for girls in Africa, was unable to predict the effects and had to review her efforts. However, the real deal is to discern the best ways to help the community you wish to--in the way that they need--not just what you think.

As far as the poor people go in the United States, it just depends on the area of the country where you live, how rural it is, and how interested the people who have the funds are in targeting the issue. Supporting research into different diseases is largely more popular than that of the plight of the poor.
