how abot research some ACTUAL charities.
weed out the middlemen non profits
weed out the corporate non profits that pay wages
find some front like charitable services that are just one human pulse away from those in need. and make a website listing only those.
get them to put a bitcoin address on their website. then we can donate directly through them. or alternatively for those that do not know who to donate to, they can see your website that explains what each charity does and how many 'degrees of separation' there is between a donator and the people in need. thus helping them choose the most worth while cause.
a good example
seans outpost - the guy asking for donations is the guy making sandwichs for the homeless
a bad example
red cross - a corporation that has more employer wages and expensive building mortgages/leases then the fnds they send forward to those in need.
if you dont know this about the red cross then please research deeper. no one wants donation funds to go to pay a rich mans 3rd mortgage, 99% or more should be going to those in need
Our first project is actually (us, the creators of the charity) baking cookies for homeless Philadelphians, so there is no middleman. Depending on how the first project goes, we may or may not continue to do the work ourselves.weed out the middlemen non profits

And actually, over 90% of Red Cross funding goes towards its services: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3277#.UyYtFq1dWZ4
