Charity list
ETA More specific URLs and details for International donations have been added to this page.
Since those bidding nominate the charity to which they'll donate, here is a list of some of those we've "vetted" for you.
They are not the only ones, just the ones we know will get the monies to those who need it. (The links are also on the right sidebar.)
In addition, if you're located in Australia, there are alternate ways to donate. The list of bank accounts and other direct deposit accounts can be found here. Just remember to get a receipt and send a copy to us for verification of the donation.
