PlanUSA is a great cause and I love some of the features on their website. You have to check out their Visit A Village page. I'd also love to hear suggestions of other sites that are using technology in unique and effective ways.

I have been noticing that San Francisco seems to be the birthplace of some really innovative charities and ideas for giving. Probably one of the most enticing sites for giving is GamesThatGive. I challenge you to visit this site and not get hooked. That's why it is in the one hour category of Give Time or Money. The idea is similar to that of FreeRice, and when you play games here you you can choose a charity to donate your "time" to and 70% of the ad revenue will go to that charity. Is it a huge donation that you are making here? No. But if you're sitting at your computer aimlessly surfing or wasting time, you might as well play a game at this site. Great concept!

I like New American Dream for its clean format and great links. Nice mission statement as well!
 "The Center for a New American Dream helps Americans consume responsibly to protect the environment, enhance quality of life, and promote social justice."

Added CARE. I think this organization was the one that originated "care package." It's been around since 1945 and has a really comprehensive website.
