Lindsey Graham is fond of saying that the scariest thing to a terrorist is a girl with an education. There's not a ton I agree with him on, but that's one thing.

I've donated to Heifer International a few times recently. They supply farm animals and the like to farmers in Asia and Africa.

Also, I give a bit of money every year to a local park that operates an outdoor hockey arena in the heart of the ghetto in Detroit, so that inner city kids can skate.

Bill gates was speaking at a conference on technology in Saudia Arabia, and someone asked what they could do to elevate their country to 'Top 10' status. His answer was basically, use the other 50% of your population.
