Kimberly - is that why the main site has been a bit hit and miss over the last half hour or so? I've got 404 errors coming at me from every click I make

Me too.

This was the list (of 90) that I found when I compared all of the various resources that were available as part of the Squidoo Activists.

Squidoo NonProfit Partners - http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-nonprofit-partners There were a couple on the list that I couldn't find information for.

The Donations Module has the list of all those available to select from when using the new Donations Module.

Thanks for your patience - still working on getting a list for you.

Our Charity protocol is currently under review.  We're creating a new system to encourage more activity on the part of our charities, which helps them make more money!  Stay tuned for details on that.

Is it possible for UK charities to get accepted for the list? I've done a lens on Battersea Dogs & Cats Home (which has a no kill policy) and currently 100% of its income goes to the ASPCA which is a bit odd as Battersea is in the UK as am I.

I'm not opposed to helping animals in the USA, of course, I'm happy to help them and other charities no matter where the recipients are based. I just feel with a growing number of UK lensmasters it would be nice if some of our own charities were represented. I'm sure none of them will get rich from my lenses, though. :-)

Can you tell me if my information on Friends of the Park was previously processed or will I need to re-enter it.  Thanks

As far as I know charities are not discriminated against based on location.  They have to be willing to accept payments via PayPal, which has been a huge factor in the past.

We're revamping our charity protocol to include more details for how future charities can participate.  More info on that within the next month.

Thanks for that. :-)

Over the past few years the number of charities Squidoo supports has grown!  Some are always more popular and active and others, and we're making some changes to support that.

In addition to these changes, stay tuned over the next few weeks to learn what kind of great new system we're putting in place to help you, your favorite causes, and well earned donations match up.

I can't say I'm very happy about Squidoo erasing my preferred non-profit (Heifer International) off my lenses and replacing it with the Squidoo fund. Heifer's also been knocked off the main list but can be found in the "back list." Not very nice, guys.
