The objectives of the NGO Cafe are:

- To assist NGOs in enhancing and improving their programmes and activities
- To effect a better understanding of NGOs in general
- To enable NGOs to network at local, regional and international levels, horizontally and vertically.

Description:
"The NGO Cafe is an Internet web site designed as a meeting place for NGOs around the world. In six distinct sections, the site defines the concept of NGOs and related organizations, provides tools and resources to implement effective programs, presents papers and documents of International interest, gives News and Internet links and a provides a page for NGOs seeking partners."

When starting up a member based online charity, what does the group mind think is the best way to find new members?

I am working with an ngo targeting atheists, humanists, and nonbelievers to help them direct their monthly donations to appropriate charities. My job is to increase online membership. Any new ideas on how to do that?
