Default [Your Views] New concept of supporting Muslim initiatives/charities


Over the last few weeks I have been giving a lot of thought to how there are so many initiatives that take place over the world [but especially looking at the west] by brothers and sisters in deen activities.

Would it not be wonderful to create a platform that could synchronise or consolidate all that effort.

I understand the web and believe as one of is pros can be an efficient in providing that platform, but how.

One of the concepts is similar to justgiving.com for charities.
One of the concepts is similar to kickstarter.com for funding projects.

There are those services like rentacoder, elance, etc for recruits coders, developers, writers, accountants, etc, to do work for cheap and competitive rates from around the world

Please check out these sites especially kickstarter which is an amazing concept.

Now if those 3 were consolidated then people could either a) pledge money to activities or projects people want to run [no need to actually be charity registered] it could be an event in a town hall that needs £500 to pay for and get 3/4 scholars in [using kickstarter concept] b) Projects to raise money for charities [justgiving.com concept] c) Freelance outsourcing for cut prices [rentacoder, elance, etc].

How does that sound?

It is just me brainstorming, so much of our money could go to a) proactive activities that will encourage more people to get out there and run events, publications, newsletter if they can get the backing for it. b) So much money can be saved by charities and organisations on shoe string budgets by outsourcing their work.

Let me know your thoughts, I have not sussed it out.
