Looking for a charity for CodePlex project owners to donate advertisement revenue

  • 项目

One of the things we’ve been planning to do with The Lounge as our new advertisement provider is to allow project owners with a single click to opt in to have their advertisement revenue go to charity. We believe that pooling individual projects together would provide a nice charitable donation.

However, we haven’t been able to finalize on a charity yet. We’re thinking maybe a non-profit that’s focused on Open Source or education in IT? But maybe people would prefer a charity like Habitat for Humanity? We wanted to get your input what charities come to mind that we should check out.

Donate to charity single-click opt-in

    I usually donate to Greenpeace. But I'd also not mind giving the money back to CodePlex to help drive the site (a buy more swag for the next MVP summit :))

    The Computer Clubhouse Helps kids learn, with computers.  That sounds about the right mix of geek and charity for donations from a site like Codeplex.

    I would prefer United Way or the Red Cross (The Red Cross is a good "World Wide" organization). But yeah if I could just click a few check-boxes and donate the money that would be great. But just as important I would like to see the running count of donated money. Competition to generate the most donated money is a good use of our Open Source time. It would really provide a good purpose for our work. I feel that it is definitely worth implementing.
