Hi Michael,
Don't forget the AMSAT-UK FUNcube-1 with a 435/145 MHz linear transponder or UKube-1 which is flying FUNcube boards with a 435/145 MHz linear transponder. Both aiming for a late 2012 launch.

AMSAT-ZL are doing great work in developing KiwiSat with a 435/145 linear transponder I believe aiming for a 2012 launch http://www.kiwisat.org/
AMSAT-SA have got two satellite projects under development, see pages 5 onwards of http://www.uk.amsat.org/on_193_final.pdf
and http://www.amsatsa.org.za/
AMSAT-NA's Fox-1 and Fox-2 projects both deserve support http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/fox/
and we all hope that AMSAT-DL are successful in obtaining a luanch opportunity for P3-E http://www.p3e-satellite.org/index.pl?lang=en_EN
There may well be others I've missed out.
I don't see that it matters which project you chose to donate to as long as you support someone.
