The following are several Web sites that are ongoing charities that have a group of advertisers who fund the campaigns. Every time you visit and click the donate button, a sponsor donates a set amount of money. Individual clicks aren't worth very much, but these clicks do add up when lots of people visit and tell their friends.
Play the free rice game and help feed the hungry. It's not only a fun game, it will help you build your vocabulary.
