My ideas are pretty much the same regarding how it works, with the following extension: The site can also help with automatically rotating through the webmaster's selected set of banners; the banners are hosted at the charity banner site. The webmaster needs only to refer to a single gif file at the charity-banner site. This also allows tracking of click-throughs if that's of interest to the webmaster.

I like the "just do it" approach. There's nothing like having something already working to attract attention get some excitement going.

There are some organizations like http://www.helping.org
(sponsored by AOL) that have already vetted many charitable organizations. Fidelity Investments has a program where its customers can donate to a pre-selected set of charities too. Maybe we could get cooperation from one of them for the liaison-to-charities side.

There's a good chance I could get free hosting for the site.
