Hey, hope this is not considered spam.
I've been a huge fan of Kiva.org for a while now and just felt it's a perfect match with our community, so I decided to start a fastlane group there:
http://www.kiva.org/team/fastlane
For those of you that don't know it Kiva.org is a place where you can make loans to entrepenours in third world countries (mainly Africa, South America and Asia).
I love it because inteasd of giving out some money or food you have a chance to help someone build their biz. This means three things to me:
(1) your money is not used only once, after it's repayed you can loan it again and
again (deliquency rates are low), meaning you can help many more people
(2) you're helping the right people, the ones that are willing to work hard and have a stake at risk in the future of their communities/countries
(3) the business the people develop will have spill over effects in their communities, they will hire workers, spend money, etc.
take a look at their site if you're not a member yet or join the team if you're already registered.
