Civil Rights and Social Action organizations benefit
everyone. These are groups that protect women's civil rights, gay
and lesbian rights, disabled persons, minorities and senior citizens rights.
In addition, there are hundreds of organizations to protect reproduction
rights, right to life, right to die, and abortion rights. You will
also find voter education and registration groups along with censorship,
freedom of speech and press organizations.
Community Improvements and Capacity Building is a
sub-category that we probably notice more than any other. This
group contains community and neighborhood development, economic
development, and building and industry development. We drive by
everyday and see what's new being built in our neighborhood, community,
and surrounding communities. These groups also support the
community service clubs and nonprofit management of these clubs.
This sub-category is all about giving of time and
money. It encompasses private grant-making foundations, public
foundations, federated giving programs and named trusts.
Here, you will also find groups dedicated to supporting voluntarism
promotion along with philanthropy and charity promotion.
All of these groups want to promote giving of yourself, your time and
your money to those less fortunate for a better future.
Where would we be without science and technology?
These organizations' goal is to make sure we don't have to find out.
In this listing you'll find groups dedicated to marine and oceanography,
astronomy, bioscience, cave research, geology, chemistry and chemical
engineering. There are many organizations with interests in mathematics,
medicinal, and bioorganic research. Any form of general science,
physical or earth science, biology, or chemistry organization that you
can think of, can be located here.
Public and Social Benefit organizations are those
that support such areas as public finance, taxation, citizen
participation, military and veteran groups, and international groups of
people from around the world. This sub-category also contains
public transportation groups and telecommunications as well as hundreds
of organizations that contribute to consumer protection.
