For my 50th birthday, I held a 50th Birthday Card Photo Remix Contest on flickr and donated $50 the winner's favorite charity. You don't need to open your wallet because each install generates a small amount of revenue to Save the Rain Forest. And, yes they did ! But it doesn' t always have to be you asking people to donate.
