Education.
Help improve your public school system. Help teach teachers. Teach other people, yourselves -- start with your neighbour's kids, neighbourhood schools, nearby orphanages and children's remand homes. Help scale great initiatives that don't have the brand pull of Khan Academy and the ilk. Fund scholarships, if nothing else.
It will be a drop in the ocean, but an extremely high-leverage one, IMHO.
And one that leaves a legacy. I'm sure many noble people will be willing to write large cheques for legacy-creating initiatives.
OR,
Resurrect something that died an untimely death.
(edit) OR, Help turn around good businesses teetering on the edge.
Many companies and business models died ~15 years ago, in the dot-com bust, only to become wildly successful in the last 5 years.
I bet many otherwise-reasonable businesses died for dumb reasons, in the recent 5 years (like forgetting to be frugal).
If we believe that the market turnover cycle has accelerated; which businesses died before their time, and could be resurrected over the next 5-7 years (about the time to make a business viable)?
