I really like the donation idea as well.
Have mine picked out as well. Unlocking Potential provides help for disadvantaged people in Calgary and area with things like completing GED's, running mentoring programs for youth with athletes from post-secondary schools around town, and getting patents involved in their kids schooling with the F&ST program.
They are also involved in programs at Louise Dean School for pregnant and parenting teens, which helps them complete high school, something they couldn't likely achieve prior to this program existing.
Programs like these have a very high social return on investment, and I like to support them whenever I can. My niece just finished a stint as a volunteer for baby cuddling and my nephew was actually a participant in the Athletes Mentoring Program a few years back.
