The Planetary Society is interested in research. With money collected from
dues and extra contributions/gifts, it sponsors work on specific
projects, holds conferences, etc. Carl Sagan heads it.

Delta Vee was started (as The Viking Fund) to extend the Viking mission
on Mars. After a sizable amount of money was raised and donated to NASA
they went on to try and get a Halley's Comet mission. I haven't heard
from them for a while.

I don't have addresses for these here, but anyone who's interested can
send me mail, and I'll send what I have.
