You might check-in with the Nonprofit Commons Weekly meetings on Fridays, and ask for connection suggestions.

Hi Irish, I am not sure what you mean by saying that a charity is "sanctioned" by Second Life. If you are looking for legitimate non-profit institutions that receive part of their funding through donations by residents of Second Life, I recommend you check recurring news postings by recognized resident bloggers such as Inara Pey. In the physical world, a "sanctioned" charity usually means a recognized, legally-registered, not for-profit-organization. There are several of these which _do_ receive part of their funding through donations by residents of Second Life. These include the American Cancer Society, Mayo Clinic, and Virtual Ability Incorporated. There are additional not-for-profit institutions in Second Life that do not have a physical-world, legally-registered presence. But there is no mechanism to "sanction" them other than word-of'mouth reputation by residents contributing to, and participating in, those organizations. I hope this helps your project at least a little :-) Best Regards, Sitearm
