We have a nice list of btc-accepting organizations here:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Donation-accepting_organizations_and_projects

Try to think of organizations that are not on the list, but you feel they should be.

I have so far contacted the following:

  • Adbusters magazine
  • Globalresearch.ca
  • Truecrypt foundation
  • Safer-networking (spybot)

Feel free to suggest more candidates here, and to contact those listed asking if they accept bitcoin. If contacting them, I suggest keeping ideology out of it and try not to sound like a spammer. You might want to check out https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Public_relations

Here is an example of what I sent to the director of global research:

Have you considered adding bitcoin as a donation option? Many organizations, from wikileaks to archive.org have so far received tens of thousands of dollars from users all over the world using this open-source, decentralized technology.  It's much simpler and more accessible for users and for yourselves than credit cards, and certainly wouldn't hurt to have it as an option.  If you are unable to handle bitcoins directly, there are reputable services available to help you automatically convert to USD, for example paysius.com and bit-pay.com.
Cheers, and keep up the good work!

Bumping this, and adding safer-networking (spybot).
