Yup, we've been talking about switching to this as well. Seems like it could be lots of fun and really meaningful, to pick a charity for each family unit, or whatever, that represents something they really care about. E.g., my sister-in-law's brother just died of early-onset Parkinson's, so a donation in her name would mean a lot to her. Etc. I would love to do it for all next year.
PS Although I would have to fight off a serious, serious urge to donate to the ACLU in the name of a very, very conservative relative. Would I lose this fight? Perhaps....

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
