John Scalzi is auctioning off a bound manuscript copy of The Last Colony. This is one of only four copies in existence - go read. It's up to $340 (from a $50 start) as of my last 'refresh' - he's throwing in sweeteners at $200, $500, $1000, $2000, $3000 (you can be a character in an upcoming book), and $5000 (he'll write you your own short story).

The Friends of the Minneapolis Public Library has endowment funds. For every $500 in the fund, one book is purchased every year for the library using the fund's income - they do not touch the principle, so it buys new books for (theoretically) forever. There's a PayPal 'contribute' button on their homepage (and, yes, they know about the typo).
