Another Causecast-linked group, Operation USA (www.opusa.org) is one of "America's Best 100 Charities" (Worth Magazine, 2006) and the number one rated "Exclusively Privately Funded Charity" (Charity Navigator, Oct. 2008). Operation USA splits its efforts evenly between helping America's community clinics deliver care to 47 million medically uninsured Americans and perhaps even more underinsured; and, delivering aid to international disasters and "smart aid" development projects like micro-finance for poor rural women in many countries. Well worth reading through the group's site and getting in touch.

I think it's disappointing that concepts of new-media is out of the ordinary for nonprofits: the stereotype of revenue and action coming from mail-in checks and streetcorner-petition signing are so much less effective than thinking through the problem and connecting with the people who can help.
