Here’s a really great take on fund raising for worthwhile causes. It’s a website/community called Greedy Or Needy – where users make a wish (which is labelled as needy if it is considered a good deed, or greedy if it is a bit more of a selfish wish), the community then votes (1 to 5 stars) and at the end of each week, the top wishes (both greedy and needy) are granted up to $100 each.

What I like about this concept is that it’s fun and it plays on the human natural tendency to want to do good AND be a bit selfish all in one place.
