The 49 Most Innovative Organizations for Giving Back

Kudos to everyone who gives back. The world is a better place when organizations and individuals show compassion and respect to the other members of their community or environment.

Now, no one is going to quibble about your method of giving back. It doesn't really matter how you give back, it's just great that you are doing so.

Yet, there are some organizations that aren't just giving back, they are doing so in very innovative ways too. They are doing so in ways hitherto unimagined or at least untried.

We felt it important to single out these innovative organizations that are giving back to their community and to the world. We applaud their efforts, and we hope you do too.

We feel these are forty-nine of the most innovative organizations for giving back in existence today. (Why forty-nine? Why not?) To make our rundown, your organization had to be besides really innovative, a non-profit, inspirational, and very passionate.
