I just went through this thread and made a few more donations to recently posted organizations.

People, if you want to receive coin give us your address!! You want to make it easy for people to send you public cash. This is total no brainer stuff.

A few of the organizations piped me to a website, asked me to pledge an amount in some odd unit I'm not familiar with, and made me mash the keyboard on fields that said "email" .. "address".. etc.. and to make matters worse it doesn't even look like it is the organization receiving the money because I saw links from coinbase, cavirtex, bitpay, etc.. who knows what fraction of any of that coin will make it to the intended recipient. Many times I have started down that kind of path and stopped. We have better things to do with our time and if the recipient doesn't have a clue what they are doing, probably your coin is better spent elsewhere.

I want to send you funds. Why are you messing with web forms and third party limited liability corporations? This is dead simple stuff.

Just thought I would report my experience. Bitcoin 100 team and charities, keep up the good work!

Oh you are so right!
I would like to donate more. Regularly, small amounts, to many many projects.
For this, I need a simple list of bitcoin adresses. That's all. Every additional step is just in the way.

How about a website which lists non-profit donation adresses?

Name - Field of work - Website - BTC Address

To make it manipulationproof, users could verify the entry and vote or flag, or the like.
I would check for new entries from time to time, check on their website if the entry is legit, and, if I like their cause, donate.

The thing about non-profits is that they need members (to have any influence) and a somewhat constant donation income they can calculate with. That 1000$ one-time donation is great, no question. I guess most would, however, prefer a 1$ donation every day for the next three years.

And that's what I want to do. Send small donations to a huge list of charities on a regular basis. Monthly, weekly, whatever. But for this, I, we, need a very simple way to do this. And this starts with a trusted central place to collect donation addresses.
