Movements
These links are for organizations for various kinds of church renewal (Mainline Reform, Charismatic, Pentecostal, etc.). Some are a bit too caught up in internal politics, some act like they're a target. Others mostly stick to the task they were called to. As with the other sites here, there is no endorsement except where it's in bold.
Cursillo
and related movements :
These links come under the heading of Food/Clothing/Shelter/Justice. They act to better the lot of those who are disdvantaged or oppressed. They do good and build up. (Yes, taken together these are a sort of 'movement', which has a non-religious counterpart in the NGOs or 'non-governmental organization', a word that has of late replaced 'charity' in some circles.)
