Coinmap.org was the first place I registered our NPO (El Camino Real Academy in Albuquerque). A comprehensive and automated list may be difficult currently as there is no automatic way to differentiate wallets nor a central authority to verify authentic non-profits/charities from other entities. Adding a keytag similar to how coinmap works with finding BTC venues that adds the fact that the entity is non-profit/tax-exempt would be great, but requires active participation of NPOs and can be spoofed if successful. I love the idea, just can't figure out how to do an NPO filter within the BTC ecosystem without changing the protocol itself and adding a verification system, which would be like "colored" coins which are anathema. I'm also one of those people who immediately finds the issues/problems and just spurts them out, so I'm not saying it's impossible....I'm just seeing a lot of hurdles getting this kind of filter through, unless it is marketed and uses the social-aspect and not the technical. Marketing NPOs is tough, I'm sure you agree...You're on to something I haven't thought of yet, but I'm getting caught up in the hurdles/weeds trying to find the gears that fit.
