President Obama, who was "surprised and deeply humbled" by the nobel prize he received last December, has chosen the charities to which he will be donating his award money. The $1.4 million will be shared among 10 organizations that the President has said "do extraordinary work in the United States and abroad helping students, veterans and countless others in need," and that he is "proud to support their work."

Which charities, you ask? Number one on his list is the Fisher House Foundaiton, an organization that supports military families in times of need. Next comes the The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, set up by former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush following the devastating earthquakes in January. The rest will be shared among 8 additional organizations focusing on education and development. See the complete list here.
