Charitable plans

SPLC, NAACP, CAIR and/or ICNA, Planned Parenthood, Lambda Legal, Trans Lifeline.
and ACLU, EFF, National Popular Vote.
Any other suggestions? I think I’m a little light on defending rights of immigrants.
Oops — As JF points out in email, ADL.
I’d also like to fund organizations doing voter registration work, especially in swing states, especially in states where Republicans narrowly control legislatures and/or executive. We need to reduce the amount of gerrymandering in this country, we need representation in the House of Representatives that more nearly reflects the popular sentiment, and we need to ensure that we are well safe from crazy constitutional amendments (a constitutionally mandated balanced budget would be a macroeconomic disaster; recessions would turn into depressions).
I realize I am setting myself up for a deluge of please-help-our-worthy-cause solicitations, both electronic and paper. We get those already, plan is to set up a spreadsheet, and just give once a year, every year.

Yeah, I have a spreadsheet that I populate at the start of the year by tweaking the previous year’s. Most organizations get one slug of money annually.
Oxfam America does some work in the US (in addition to working with people in other countries). A few months ago I read an article in their newsletter about their work to improve conditions in US poultry processing plants.
