Compassion International is a great ministry that helps children in need around the world. I've sponsored children with Compassion since 1984 and would recommend them highly to anyone that wants to help children in developing countries. I agree with Andy.

I am the founder, if that matters for posting purposes. Thank you, Corinne Dowling Hello Matt –

I would like to recommend Give a Dog a Bone, founded in 2000, still small, still working to make a difference, and always appreciating donations.

I am the founder, if that matters for posting purposes.

Thank you,

Pretty cool concept. I also support the Jimmy Fund and Make-A-Wish Foundation every year. Another idea at Christmas-time is for people to contact their local Dept of Youth Services. They have a list a mile-long of needy kids who would love to get a new toy and warm winter coat. Great blog post. I'm getting good ideas here! I’ve started with Kiva this year. Pretty cool concept.

It's affiliated with Stanford. Apart from that, I'll second John's mention of Heifer. Matt,

You can give the gift of bees, chickens, livestock along with the training for caring and raising them to people all over the world, for food. Then the cool part of is that they pass it on, once the livestock are established they pass on animals to others in the community. I have four friends and we are saving to give an 'Ark' next year. Check it out at www.heifer.org. Sorry if this is dup or somebody already mentioned this charity. Happy Holidays. ps. first time poster, long time fan, the i can haz cheeseburger cat thing still makes me laugh. Heifer International (no jokes now) is a great idea.
