You can help ...
This is like a Doctors without Borders type of organization, but they specialize in surgically fixing cleft palates for free in 3rd world countries. It is a simple, routine surgery and it changes someone's whole life. If you donate, you can help these doctors continue their good work.

Movies with a spiritual and compassionate leaning ...
The Spiritual Cinema Circle (owned by Gaiam) is a subscription service that sends you monthly DVDs of indi movies that you might never see elsewhere and that are thought provoking, inspirational and spiritual. Movies like "What the Bleep" usually dont make it to the local movie theatre, but film makers keep producing them and you can watch them via this service. Subscription to The Spiritual Cinema Circle costs about $25/month and they send you 4 movies on DVD to keep. You can cancel at any time.
Part of your subscription fee is donated to help indi film makers (such a brilliant idea) --so you get to support the artists too. If you go to their website, you can get a free trial subscription and see if you like their movies. http://www.spiritualcinemacircle.com/

Vegan shoes and accessories
In keeping with AHIMSA (do no harm) and vegetarianism, you might consider using less leather and wool in your life -- there are lots of good, comfortable synthetic alternatives now.
Designer Stella McCartney produces cruelty free vegan shoes and so do many other companies. Last winter I was admiring vegan snow boots at the new Whole Foods downtown on the Bowery.
Here is a link to MooShoes... this is a shop on the Lower East Side that sells only cruelty free shoes, clothes and accessories. One can order online, as well.
