Ask HN: Best startups related to non-profits/charities?

7 pointsby thetylerhayesover 14 years ago
When you think of startups in the non-profit/charity space, what comes to mind? (The startups themselves do not have to be non-profits or charities.)

Shameless self-promotion: <a href="http://swipegood.com/blippy" rel="nofollow">http://swipegood.com/blippy</a> :)<p>Turn your blippy account into a fund raising machine. Every time you make a purchase and review it on Blippy we round it up to the nearest dollar and allow you to give it to your favoriate charity.<p>We just launched the blippy integration and would love any feedback!

got a thought I had to unload:<p>What if there were a site where non-profit orgs, non-government orgs or charity orgs can post 'jobs' (unpaid) on a website and people can volunteer themselves to particular jobs?<p>I believe there are sites for it. But, how about points being given for each job actually done?<p>What if people can compete for max points in a time? and the winner gets a prize from a company which wants to 'encourage' good stuff for their own marketing purposes or whatever? (the prize gotta be a 'bonus' not the main attraction, otherwise it may not fly in the long run, hmm.. or who knows)<p>Would that result in more people doing more volunteering stuff?<p>A platform like facebook can easily implement such stuff, probably. and get some 'good' rub off too
