Cool Charity Ideas

Browsing through Keven Kelly's Cool Tools site (an absolutely must read blog), I came across this nifty list of charities he's fond of.

Whether you want to provide amicro-loan or a cow, he's found some options for you.

Shira and I especially liked the Modest Needs site, which offers small loans to help people out of tight spots. With their published list of requests, it's hard not to read them and not want to give. It doesn't hurt that the site seems to come across as really responsible (they send money to the creditor, not person asking for the support) and promises to give 100% of your donation to people in need.

It sure is nice seeing people leverage technology to make this world a better place.
