One could probably earn more money to donate just by working a few more hours at the office instead of clicking for grains of rice. But I think the any-time micro-level activism and raised awareness caused by freerice is probably helping more than we think. What do you think about Charitii.com? It's similar to freerice.

Their goal is to create awareness, but also give supporters a tangible action. Providing this game eliminates the - I don't have $20 to give, I don't have 2 hours to donate - excuses. It also enables teenagers to get information and have fun at the same time, in hopes that "when they grow up" they will take the spirit of philanthropy with them. Thanks for the site. I am addicted! I am also appalled that the U.S. has pledged nothing. Speaking from the perspective of a fundraiser, I think FreeRice is doing a great job.
