Here are a few of the charities I support.  Some of you may be looking for charities to support.  One thing I hope you'll notice about these is that they are non-denominational and non-political.  Okay, Toys For Tots is run by the Marines, which is kinda political, but that's okay.  And St. Jude's is named after a Catholic saint, but they do great work and were started by Danny Thomas.

The Children's Miracle Network is an international non-profit organization dedicated to helping children by raising funds and awareness for 170 children's hospitals throughout North America. Each year these non-profit hospitals treat more than 17 million children afflicted with diseases, injuries and birth defects of every kind.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the world's premier centers for research and treatment of catastrophic diseases in children, primarily pediatric cancers.  Founded in 1955 by Danny Thomas, this research and treatment facility treats more than 4,000 patients annually.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of children with terminal or life-threatening illnesses worldwide.
The American Red Cross is part of the larger International Red Cross and Red Crescent, dedicated to helping disaster and famine victims worldwide.  The American Red Cross also acts quickly in disasters to deliver blood and relief supplies to the survivors and the wounded.
Toys For Tots The Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots organization is perhaps one of the easiest and best organizations you can give to.  It's fun to buy toys, you don't have to wrap them, and they go to a disadvantaged kid somewhere.  What's not to like about this!?!  On top of that, this is one of those organizations where the organizer isn't taking a (possibly large) cut off the top.
Food Bank of the Rockies This is a more localized charity, I understand, but it's still something I'd like to give a plug for.  The Food Bank of the Rockies does great work distributing food stuffs to needy citizens throughout Northern Colorado and Wyoming.
