There is few organizations here : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects (It's more about Tech and stuff) and I found this aswell : http://bitcoin100.org/charities/ (I'am not sure how legit this list is )
and there is this one http://www.seansoutpost.com/ which BiPolarBob was speaking about it on his giveaways like here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=798425.0

I used to watch the thread about Sean's Outpost. Back then, people donate bitcoins to them in order to feed the homeless. It is a good charity, and you'd really see the results. :)

Link to their website: http://www.seansoutpost.com/

You just make sure that all of these organizations that you are donating to are legit. Bitcoin made it very easy for people to donate and organizations to receive donations. Because of this ease, anybody can set up a fake web site and claim the donations. Once you send coins they are gone.

Just pay attention to this!

I've donated to a couple of charities but made sure I was doing it through a legit website. As written above, it's nice and easy to set up a fake front. If there's a charity you particularly dig then why not suggest BTC to them? It's easy enough to implement in a lot of places.

Purse.io also has a 1% donation program that gives to BitGive at no cost to you. (Do your normal shopping, and 0.5% goes directly to Bitgive in BTC, and up to 0.5% goes to charity of buyer's choice)

I'm interested in that. Will Purse.io give you an option on which charity to donate to? If so, what's the list of the charities?

That is true, it's more easy to give donation by BTC.
We need to really make sure which organizations or foundations is a legit one.

Too easy to make some fake foundation website with facebook fanpage, and speak that they will sent the payment for some catastrophe in another foreign country. This site usually appear when some bad things happen.

But, i wish BTC can be help a lot people through charity in future.
Unfortunately, there still a lot fraud in BTC. :'(
