Philanthropy via Web 2.0

Here is another concept found on the web. This one only applies to the general Washington area but it shows what can be done.

The Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington introduces you to the world of smaller, local charities – with budgets below $2 million. Though they comprise about 85% of all nonprofits, the public rarely hears about them because most cannot afford to make themselves heard. Yet dollar-for-dollar, they offer some of the most cost-effective opportunities for philanthropy. If "making a difference" is one of your goals, then excellent smaller charities may be for you.
