Further Inspiration
Alternatively, try a website like http://www.charitynavigator.org to get further inspiration. From their (US-centric) website: "Founded in 2001, Charity Navigator has become the nation's largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities. In our quest to help donors, our team of professional analysts has examined tens of thousands of non-profit financial documents. As a result, we know as much about the true fiscal operations of charities as anyone. We've used this knowledge to develop an unbiased, objective, numbers-based rating system to assess the financial health of over 5,000 of America's best-known charities."
Some examples of international environmental charities (rated 4-star by Charity Navigator) are:
http://www.nature.org "The leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people."
http://www.rainforest-alliance.org "The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior."
http://www.conservation.org "We believe that the Earth's natural heritage must be maintained if future generations are to thrive spiritually, culturally, and economically. Our mission is to conserve the Earth's living heritage – our global biodiversity – and to demonstrate that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature."
