Top 3 NPO's for MBA Admissions?

Is there any specific NPO's that admissions counsels look for or look more favorable than others? What would you rate as top 3?

Big Brother/Big Sister? Habitat for Humanity? XXX City Economic Development Corp? XXX Chamber of Commerce? United Way?

You obviously wouldn't be as involved and someone who works there full time. So other than donating a pile of cash, what experience would admissions look for? A form of limited leadership within the NPO?

No. EC's/non-profits/whatever are irrelevant in the admissions process unless you are in a fully immersive program (aforementioned peace corp, teach for america, those 2 years mormons do, etc) or founded the non-profit yourself.

Being member, spending a few hours a week, etc is not much better than doing nothing (i chose the latter and had no issues).
