Wow - great ideas. I see you also included Kiva.org, which is truly a lot of fun, too. I just completed a post about two easy ways to give back this year and I agree about Kiva: http://snurl.com/8oozo
Reaaaally cool list. It's crazy that all this stuff is floating out there somewhere, and then you stumble upon a list like this and find a bunch you've never heard of before. Thanks.
Hi Qui! This is such great research and I'll def bookmark as a place to find where to give! Cheers for holiday (and beyond) giving! You are the best. :)

What a fantastic list! I have another to add-- we're offering a limited number of free, $10 "Giving Certificates" you can use to give to any of the 1.6 Million charities in our database at www.razoo.com (pretty much every NPO in the US). Email me at give@razoo.com to request one :)
Qui - You are an amazing individual. Thank you for highlighting these organizations, events and ways to spread the light....and in effect, living as a role-model, social network citizen by putting together this amazing resource! Gratzi!

Thanks for the shout out! At The Breast Cancer Site, we made our goal of 300 mammograms yesterday and an additional $20,000 will go to breast cancer research this month. BTW, this was just our December challenge. We funded more than 1,400 mammograms during October!
But don't stop clicking. There is no ceiling and our sponsors are more than willing to pay for more than 300 mammograms this month!

I just found out about advantages of www.giveforward.org Unlike the other sites I've read about, giveforward.org lets you can create your own cause. Fantastic idea for family and friends, local and school fundraisers. The staff are really nice, quick to respond, and helped set up a fundraiser. You can easily see where you are at your goal and individually thank the donors.

I found this site, www.klenzd.com, where you can dump a burdensome load of guilt and give a few dollars to charity. I found it to be an entertaining way to learn and do some good at the same time. At least I know the "offering as they call it actually goes somewhere. They list the charities.

Great list! You can also check out Tonic Events; it lets you plan parties around charitable giving and/or create your own bike-a-thon event, etc.. Invite folks, track donations, etc.

Hey Qui -- Ditto all around -- very nice post and even nicer to see a site like Mashable giving attention to the CauseWired movement (also the name of Tom Watson's new book and company). Thanks for mentioning Social Actions in a few spots, including our Change the Web Challenge. All the best, and Merry Christmas, peter

This is a great run down on what people can do online for various causes. Interesting to see that you mentioned niche networks, here at Amnesty UK we've just launched our own: www.protectthehuman.com It's a place for human rights supporters to come together, share news and take action on things that matter to them.

This list is great. A friend is creating some digital art that he wants to auction/sell for charity (100%). Is there a way he can do that? Give people a choice of charities when they buy the art (and ideally allow for the art to be hosted as well)?

Great list. The variety is inspiring. Our contribution is the footprints network. We have raised over $500,000 to fund nearly 40 projects ... all from $2 donations. What is different is that this is built for e-commerce companies to use with an open API so that their customers can get involved.
It's just another angle but one that works well: over 90% of customers tend to donate.

Just what we are seeking to support with campaigns like this one, due out soon.
Nice list. I would add Charitychoice. www.charitygiftcertificates.org The site offers many of the tools mentioned here all rolled into one. Gift Cards, Gift Registries, Custom business URLs, e-cards, and the latest, redeem unused points (credit card, frequent flyer points...) for charity.
