Hey Kelly, welcome to the forum. And thanks for the great first post! I've been mauling over what you've said.

I had a similar experience this week, with a group called Seva. When I realized exactly how amazing their organization is I flipped out that I had never heard of them sooner. Then I felt guilty. I think some members of the forum may have witnessed me flipping out over it, heh.

Anyway, I bought a few web domains, and wondered it you might want to help me add some content on them?
  • BestCharityEver.com
  • BestCharityList.com
  • BestCharitiesEver.com

There are a couple sites out there already that list charities, but not in a manner that I think is as useful as possible.

We can start a thread over at "Character & Contribution" and get feedback as we develop the sites. Might be fun..

Let me know,
