EditGeek supports the following charities, and asks that you consider these very worthy opportunities to share love.

GlobalGiving provides a way for you to give 100% of your gifts to the orphanage, hospice, or other charitable project of your choice. You have the option of including a small gift (maybe 10%) to cover the cost of processing, etc. You choose your project, and give entirely to them. No large organizations. They take all forms of payment, including PayPal. You watch progress reports as the project succeeds. | ||||||

By making microloans (say $25) to the working poor, you help a woman in Togo open a restaurant, and pull her family out of poverty, or a man in Ecuador buy a taxi and begin a business that provides for his family. You choose the project, the money is loaned to that person, and the money returns to your account when the loan is repaid. | ||||||

A way of matching your area of interest or expertise with volunteer opportunities in your area, or even internationally. If you’re looking for a way to give your time, and want to see who needs it, this is the place. | ||||||

Oxfam does not spend 60% of aid money on enriching US food processing and shipping magnates with powerful political connections. Instead, it buys food locally, helping local farmers rise from poverty, and transports food locally to the distribution sites, helping still others, and simultaneously reaching the ultra-poor who need it to live today. |
