10. Alternative Ideas
give411
1. Donor “Social Fund Management”
• Nonprofit experts rate the top performing non profits in any given category
• Investment Portfolios or funds according to causes are created, which invest in the top 10
rated nonprofits of each category
• Investors can create an investment portfolio and choose how to allocate their donation: i.e.:
30% disaster relief, 30% education, 40% wildlife conservation
• Investors choose an investment horizon: i.e., 1 month, 3months, 1 year
• Investors receive a monthly performance report, which informs the investor to make
worthwhile changes to the allocation of his donation
2. Donor Rewards Credit Card
• Through strategic partnerships we award points to cardholders who donate or socially invest,
the smarter the donation or investment, the more points
• Points are redeemable for donations or merchandise from companies that donate/invest
profits
• Eventually there can be cards specializing in different giving categories
3. The Smart Donor Challenge
• A social media platform that is all about the good you do, and how good it is
• It surpasses Jumo.com in its interactive nature, and forms groups who compete amongst
themselves to be the smartest donors
