During the holiday season, many of us either make our own charitable donations or work for organizations that will at this time of year. Great workplaces often have a philanthropic leaning, and I found this site, charity.org, to be a useful tool. This Website helped me to focus my efforts on charities that match my values and that spend an appropriate amount on achieving the organizations overarching mission.
