The Hunger Site

"When you click on the yellow 'Click Here to Give - it's FREE' button, your click is counted by our servers and you move to the Thank You page, where you will see small ads for our site sponsors. There is no charge to you; cups of food are fully paid for by these sponsors.

100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners.

Every click on the yellow button results in funding for Mercy Corps and Feeding America. The more people who click, the more cups of food we can fund."

This site has a very simple and direct business model, by clicking a button, and viewing sponsor-paid ads, you have donated free food to someone in need. You can help even more by shopping, and the proceeds from that also go to help the cause.
CharityUSA.com who runs this site, has a whole network of other worthy sites including TheBreastCancerSite.com, TheAnimalRescueSite.com, and more, all with the same business model.

Hoongle

"Hoongle.org is an Internet search engine that adds a social purpose to searching. For every search you do, we donate 20 grains to rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Our mission is to make the world a better place one search at a time."

Hoongle is basically a custom Google based search engine, in which Hoongle donates the ad profits that google gives them directly to the UN World Food Program. Hoongle also has all the standard Images/Google Mail/and more links on top for easy access and familiar interface.

I've made Hoongle my default search engine, which is easy to do with their search plugin, which I'd like to point out is not a toolbar plugin, it just adds itself to your existing browser-based search engine list. It works at the very least in Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer.

Hoongle donates 20 grains of rice per each search a user does.
Someone asked me today, "20 grains of rice, that doesn't seem like much,"
and I replied: "well, 20 grains x 1000 users x 50 searches = 1000000 grains of rice," so it does indeed quickly add up.
