I know Sean's Outpost which BiPolarBob was asking users to send funds to when he was making giveaways : http://www.seansoutpost.com/ (It's for homeless people) and you could donate using Litecoine , Dogecoin , CLAM & Bitcoin of course.

I don't know of any organizations specifically that accept Bitcoin, however I do remember them was some sort of animal preservation organization accepting Bitcoin on here a little while ago, maybe something like a year ago.

I'd recommend just googling it and doing some research on the organizations.

most "organisations" waste more money then they use. so forget red cross, forget clinton foundation, forget haiti rescue.

find an worthwhile cause where the money doesnt have lots of 'chiefs'

i found seans outpost the best use of spare funds because the guy receiving the funds is the same guy making sandwiches and land available to the homeless

Lots of organizations are full of money, that's the truth, they need some people, maybe you can join in one OP.

Try to help people in your neighborhood, isn't that bad.

you can donate to the American red cross here. I dunno how that's different from the red cross or the red crescent.

I don't get why people would donate to a charity like sean's outpost just because it takes bitcoin. find a charity you dig and send them to bitpay.

Really appreciate the feeling and thoughts expressed of donating in the charity which will help the needy. Though not sure which country you belong to and what is the status of the foundations their accepting the btc as a payment mode.

Accepting anything as donation is of great use. If they don't want to use bitcoin then obviously they can sell those bitcoin and take back real money from local trader or from exchange sites. And taking bitcoin will not make them loss rather they would be able to make profit if they sell during higher rate.

guess you didnt get the news.. haiti campaigns shuffled $3billion around (making the clintons rich) and also the CEO of red cross rich.
the red cross said they would help with the development of 100,000 homes..
5 years later.. guess the total of homes built.. 6.. yep SIX.. not 600, not 6000 not 60000... only 6

as i said throwing funds a mega-corp ("organisations") better known as 'not for profits', waste their funds on expensive cars and large salaries, putting hardly anything into the end goal they are pretending to promote

unsurprising. that's why people who want to donate should take the initiative and introduce their favoured charities to bitcoin. no one has anything to lose.

Great Idea ! Here is a list of charities that you may want to donate to : http://bitcoinforcharity.com/bitcoin-charity-list/
But I actually encourage you to do some research first to know if the charity is legit or worth donating to  :D

Which aid organizations do you know which accept Bitcoins as a donation?

I don`t trust charity organizations.I would never donate btc or USD to an organization.

I`ve never heard about a charity organization that accepts bitcoin.

Maybe there are some,but i don`t know if they are trustworthy.

Some organization is just a fake, and i ever finding it, so like you said i just never wanna for donating my money for them again, just should donating in a real organization in my environment and the transparency are always be an important thing for that.

I belong to a site called GIFTOBIT. I bought a bitcoin education package for 0.06 btc and I was placed in a matrix, then eventually I will earn from this matrix and Will give 25% of my income form it to the charities listed. I can choose the charities I want to donate to and it is in bitcoin so that will be cool, once I start earning from it but it may take months.

I don't trust these charities/aid organisations. I'd rather go out there & help myself than donate money. You never know what % of it is going where.

And that's why you always have to look up a charity on http://www.charitynavigator.org/
You'll see how much of the funding actually gets spent on the cause in question and how much goes into 'overhead'.

That's also not always the best option, if you do find an organization that's spending its funds correctly, they would have a far greater impact than you personally going there and helping.
Plus, would you really be doing that?

Also, donating would be good for taxes.

Bro Firstly I Suggest You Don't Donate Money to Any Aid Organizations Online Because How Can You Find That the Organizations Use Your Money Properly....
So I Suggest You that Donate Your Money to Your Local Aid Organizations.....

I found this near the top of a search for Bitcoin accepting charities, but it only has 8 or 9 charities on its home page. I don't know if it's reputable and I agree with other posters that some big charities spend all the donations on inflated wages. It's best to find out how much of the donations goes to the people who need it before donating.

Checking a charity is not easy. Eternalgloom said you can use his charitynavigator.org link to check,

... you always have to look up a charity on http://www.charitynavigator.org/
You'll see how much of the funding actually gets spent on the cause in question and how much goes into 'overhead'.


However when I tried checking the thewaterproject.org link posted by Invulner I didn't find it rated by charitynavigator.org.
