I'm interested in <a href="http://hrw.org">Human Rights Watch</a>, because they are well rated on Charity Navigator and their missions are respectable. But I've also seen some criticism that they are a biased organization. Anyone have any experience with this group? How about any other groups that focus on human rights?<br /> <br /> Thanks!

You go eat at a participating restaurant on the appropriate event day. The participating restaurant donates to Dining Out For Life. It's a win/win/win. You get a meal that goes towards a good cause. The restaurant gets publicity for participating. Dining Out For Life generates funds for AIDS service organizations. The money generated stays local, so you'll be helping your local AIDS service organizations.<br /> <br /> There are many cities in the US and a few in Canada that are participating. Unfortunately, I can't find Dining Out For Life in Charity Navigator, so I can't find any statistics on the organization's spending or efficacy. That having been said, it looks like a worthy cause.<br /> <br /> Check the site out to find the event date and participating restaurants for the city closest to you.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.diningoutforlife.com/">Dine Out, Fight Aids</a>
