causecast.org defines itself this way,
"Causecast, dubbed "a one stop philanthropy shop" by TechCrunch, is a platform where media, philanthropy, social networking, entertainment and education converge to serve a greater purpose.
People want to do good, want to be inspired, and want to inspire others to join them in giving back. Causecast makes this easy by providing users with means to CONNECT with people, leaders, charities, nonprofit organizations, and brands that inspire them."
One of the participating organizations is farm sanctuary who defines their mission as;
"Since 1986, Farm Sanctuary has worked to end cruel practices of the “food animal” industry while educating consumers about factory farming and the benefits of a cruelty-free lifestyle. Through direct rescue, education and advocacy, we are changing the way society views and treats farm animals."

kiva.org is dedicated to leading money to deserving entrepreneurs in developing countries. One person who I loaned money to is;
"Jumaboi Khojiev lives in Mastchokh and he is married with seven children. Jumaboi Khojiev has been a client of MicroInvest since 2006 and his loan sums are permanently increased which shows his business's stability and development. He has a wide-side business including the meat and milk production and its work out. He dreams of purchasing a horn pedigree bull and a cow for further meat and milk and sour milk goods production (its supply to the bazaars and the family is secure by the meat and milk-sour products)."
