First - I run a platform that connects creative/technical volunteers with non-profits for project-based volunteer opportunities. There's a bunch of organizations looking for people like you - take a look: www.project501.com Second - really interesting conversation here. It's incredibly important to make monetary donations, but that isn't an option for anyone. It's also possible that your time/expertise could save the organization far more than what you might have been willing to donate. I'm a fan of the guiding ideas of effective altruism (few have mentioned it already). Basically, give what you are able to give to the cause that needs it most. There's plenty of behavioral issues though that might prevent us from giving more of our money than we probably could - it seems easier to donate our time when doing what we love doing and do best.
