Comment by Peter Deitz on January 12, 2009 at 12:54pm - Hi Britt, Glad you like the list. It'll be interesting to see the keywords trend over time. On poverty, we'd like to start aggregating from ModestNeeds.org. On climate, I've been talking to the folks at OneSky and 350.org. On Autism, we'll be including LendforHealth shortly. And the list goes on.. :-)

Comment by Britt Bravo on January 12, 2009 at 12:47pm - I *love* this list, Peter. Are there any platforms (who aren't already Social Action partners) who specialize in opportunities that address climate change, education, poverty, Darfur, and other top categories?
