try:
$charities = $this->Campaign->Charity->find('list', array('fields' =>
array('Charity.id', 'Charity.charity_name')));
And then
echo $this->Form->input('Charity.charity_name', array('options' =>
$charities));
(It would automatically select the columns "id" and "name" but I think if
they are different you need to specify, I may be wrong).
