      ACLU. They fight back against shitty laws that repress freedom and equality.

    The local food bank. It’s hard to make ends meet. If people can get food from the food bank then maybe their limited dollars can go to other things they need.

    Planned Parenthood.

    They’ve been around for decades helping and teaching teens about safe sex and offering FREE services to both men and women. Without planned parenthood many women wouldn’t have access to birth control or be able to get it discretely and men could get condoms for free and get helpful information about anything else they might need.

    It’s one of the greatest organizations ever made imo. Kind dumbfounded how people believe planned parenthood performs abortions though when they don’t.

    Coalition for Rainforest Nations. They work with indigenous and local communities, and national governments to do everything possible to protect rainforests and reforest areas. The donations really stretch far because they predominantly work in low income areas.

    ProPublica is a no paywall investigative news organization that has really hard hitting reporting that holds corrupt businesses and people accountable. They have a good track record of getting consequences for the things they report on.

    World Wildlife Foundation does great work with preserving biodiversity and raising awareness of nature with the public. It’s hard to care about something if you don’t know about it

    My local Unitarian Universalist church creates a place for LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people to feel safe and celebrated and the people do so much work trying to make our local community a better place. There’s no expectation to believe any specific scripture, just a shared set of values. Find a congregation near you

    Obviously there’s many non-profits who have a larger and more “necessary” impact on humanity, but a personal favorite of mine is lichess.org. It’s the FLOSS, non-profit alternative to freemium and ever-more-enshittified chess.com. On lichess.org, there’s zero ads or trackers (yes, not even Google analytics). And not only does it have the superior philosophy, it’s actually just much faster and better as a chess server than chess.com.
