I very much like Heifer International. The weirdest wedding present I received was a donation in my name to Heifer. I had never heard of them, so I checked out their website, and it turns out they're pretty cool. Among other things, they help poor farmers buy livestock in the developing world for just the reasons Gates lists. For the last couple years since I've been married, I've bought a goat for someone each year. I suppose I like the immediacy of it, because instead of asking for $10, $50, $100, or $1000, they ask for chickens, goats, cows, etc. Pretty nice to know exactly what your money is paying for (even if it turns out to not be that simple if you were to follow each dollar, which I imagine is the case).
