How about this Squidoo 

Ok, first off, it looks great and is easy to use. The sign-up was smooth and managing is probably as easy as it gets with this amount of flexibility. It's nice you can easily donate (only a few) charities using this site. A fine job by the people of Squidoo.

I haven't used Squidoo to search for information yet, but I can tell I'd love to have their team working on Helpalot. The only negative thing I found so far is the name. Squidoo is hard to spell and I have no idea what it means, perhaps this is because I'm Dutch. My friends know that I'm easily annoyed by commercials, but even the slight commercial taste it has is not really annoying me.

Squidoo has some elements I intend to implement on Helpalot, but it's still very different.

Helpalot is purely for charities and people who want to do good. It's about finding the charity that works for you. You can start your personal page and link the charities you support, write evaluations and much more.

Concluding; Squidoo looks like a great website to learn from.
