wow, so it's been a while since anyone around here has actually said anything.
perhaps some of you have heard of this already, but there's a website called FreeRice that presents you with multiple-choice vocab questions, and for each one you get right it donates 20 grains of rice to those who need it. i thought such a vocabulary lesson somewhat fitting for a writing website, no?
www.freerice.com/
here's some explanations of it...

and some banners...
www.freerice.com/banners.html
.... in case moderators wanna put them up... haha i'm only putting these here because seeing these banners was what made me think of posting about it on GB in the first place: this is the only website i know of that actually uses banners at all, so it made me think of this.
^^ that connected in my mind, don't worry if it doesn't make any sense to you
oh and while we're on the topic of charities you can donate to for free from your computer desk...

all you do is click the big orange button, and then use the tabs along the top to click the buttons for all the other causes as well.
