http://charitywatch.org/ lists top rated charities according to the American Institute of Philanthropy. Charities are grouped by cause, which makes it easy to find one to donate to. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

I'd recommend the list Bec provided. Much more there. -

That is a great resource! Thanks Bec! I'll look for other types of organizations that may benefit and let you know later. - Andrés David Aparicio

I'm going to contact someone at my company who has a list of philanthropic websites and contacts. If all else fails,just check care2.com - Terence

@Andres, try thishttp://www.charitynavigator.org/... - Terence

Globalgiving.com - Terence

http://www.unitus.com/ - let me know if you want me to introduce you to my Uncle, one of the founders. Dave McClure is also on their Board. - Jesse Stay

I should also add that Unitus specializes in micro-credit giving, something perfect for the one dollar project - Jesse Stay

Unitus is interesting. Micro-financing is a good way to channel resources and is not paternalistic unlike other approaches in charity work; for me that is always a big plus. Just my personal opinion; at the end help is help. I'll read more about it. Thanks for the pointer Jesse! - Andrés David Aparicio
