There are some great ideas and resources listed here. Right now...the main thing I "do" to give back to my community is pay taxes. I just wrote the City of Austin and the Eanes school district two checks totalling ~$11500K...more than half of that to Eanes. Since we don't have kids, nor plan to...I'd say that was a nice donation to help educate the kids living in our neighborhood. I have participated in the "Texas 10 Charity Disc Golf tour":http://www.texas10tour.com/ for the last several years, though. Last year, Central Texas disc golfers donated over $40K to the Lance Armstrong Foundation through the Texas 10 series. Glad I stumbled on this post.
