So kind of like Oprah's Angel Network? But Lowtax's Goon Stew.

Is the idea to raise a rainy day fund and then find worthy causes or find a worthy cause and then raise money?

If I could make a suggestion, I think the fund should have an expiration date. A definite beginning and end would perhaps put some urgency to the fundraising and make it more purposeful. Like the Fall Pumpkin Drive or the Winter Invitational. Then if it's successful you take what you learned and start another iteration. Kind of like threads that get retired and started over. Each thread's front page could have posts reserved for recognizing contributors, like those little shamrocks you get for donating to the March of Dimes.

Shorter goon drives make it easier to brush aside any inevitable failures and create opportunities to hand off all or partial responsibility so one handful of people isn't expected to do everything. It would also encourage things to stay small and simple. Because keeping things simple is going to be paramount.
