It's exciting to get to contribute to fundraisers, especially when I get to plug my favorite charities -- charities like Water.org that get sources of fresh, clean water into regions that until that point had either unsafe or difficult-to-access water sources. Since water's the key to just about everything else in terms of progress (health and hygiene, food and livestock, processing goods for sale, etc.), you can't really do much else until that's established.
Here's the video I made to help out with the fundraiser -- it explains the issues a little more clearly:
So, since the start of my YouTube channel, I've established Tiny Box Tim Day (June 28th) as "a holiday for helping others," raised $127.78 for Extra Life (which jump-started the gaming section of my channel, and I went from just a handful of videos posted sporadically to over a hundred videos and a fairly regular schedule since the start of November), and now helped out with Project for Awesome (making the video, spreading word about the project, and contributing a little myself as well). So far so good!

My YouTube channel is currently on hiatus, but I hope to get back to it at some point. Content is fairly random, but can be enjoyable, and is mostly game footage (mostly random Minecraft clips) from my nephews and me. Most popular MC vid so far is the one Vechs laughed at on Twitter!
