I have two favorites: The Sharing Foundation which supports children in Cambodia and Creative Commons. MadebySurvivors sells beautiful handicrafts and awesome gifts all made by survivors and people at very high risk for slavery.

Note from Beth: We know that social media can bring in the small dollar donors, but what about larger gifts?

I was first introduced to the concept of the gift economy and pay it forward many years ago when I was the community builder for a first generation online network for artists, called ArtsWire.
