Web charity sites

I wonder if a couple inspired websites can change the world...  Are those websites that claim they raise money through refreshing the ad everytime you do something actually legitimately donating to the charities they claim they are?  I certainly hope so... Every little bit counts.

here are a few good ones...

http://www.goodsearch.com/  I've completely switched from using google to using goodsearch, run by yahoo.  You pick a charity you want to earn money, and every time you search, a penny goes to that charity.   If you search a ton like I do, it'll hopefully add up quickly.  I goodsearch for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Who would you goodsearch for?

http://www.freerice.com/  Fun trivia game, you can watch as the grains of rice you've won stack up.  Its a flash card like trivia game, with different categories, and in this new version, a way to track how much rice you've donated.  For every question you answer right, 10 grains of rice are donated to help end world hunger.

http://www.freepoverty.com/ this one I found today while trying to figure out the legitimacy of websites like freerice.  In this game, you have to try and pinpoint the location they give you, and the closer you are the more water gets donated to impoverished regions around the world.  Each guess is worth 10 cups of water, the closer you are, the more will be donated.

Are these websites scams?  I really hope not, because I'm going to continue to use them in the hopes that they aren't.
