Philanthroper
http://philanthroper.comYou know those daily deal sites? Philanthroper is another one of those. But instead of selling something, the site shares the story of a new 501(c)3 nonprofit every day.

SixDegrees.org
http://www.sixdegrees.orgYou've probably heard of the Six Degrees concept. Any one person (including me, Kevin Bacon) is connected to any other person through six or fewer relationships, because it's a small world. SixDegrees.org is about using this idea to accomplish something good. It's social networking with a social conscience.
Through this website, you can support your favorite charities by donating or creating fundraising badges — as well as check out the favorite causes of other people, including celebrities. You can also pay it forward with Good Cards® - gift cards for charity that can be redeemed as a donation to more than 1 million charities.

BRAC

We do this with a holistic development approach geared toward inclusion, using tools like microfinance, education, healthcare, legal services, community empowerment and more.

FREE the NEED
http://www.freetheneed.org/index.htmlFREE the NEED was founded on the idea that there is enough of what people need to go around. By collecting surplus, volunteers have been able to 'free the need' of the basic necessities for thousands of families. With these needs met, families can put their energy into pursuing a better life, getting an education, giving something better to their children, fulfilling their potential in a country that encourages them to dream.
