Ask Slashdot: Most Efficient, Worthwhile Charity?

New submitter yanom writes "I'm thinking about making a holiday donation to a charity, but I'm not sure where to give it. I've looked at organizations such as the Red Cross and Village Reach that promote disaster relief and health in the developing world. I want my money to have the biggest possible impact, so where should I send it?"

    If you care about donating to charity, but don't personally have cash to spend, then I suggest using Bing instead of Google. Microsoft lets you donate your Bing rewards (which you gain when you search for something) to charity. Just by signing up you get 250 points, and every 100 points you get lets you donate $1 to charity.

    I'd like to see Google doing similar good for the world.

    How is the parent offtopic? It's about charity and helping them. Their reward site is here and if you don't want to use the reward points yourself, you can give them to charity.
