Street-level help for big projects - TwinCities.com

Street-level help for big projects - TwinCities.com: "The second project is an experiment in what is called e-philanthropy, or online giving. A new website, GiveMN.org, seeks to bring donors, non-profits and specific projects together. The web site allows donors to search for charities in Minnesota and elsewhere that do work the donors are interested in. It creates a one-stop site for donations and allows donors to track their giving and keep their receipts for tax purposes in a single handy location."
