Chip In!
Five days ago I said it would be a good idea for somebody to make a web2.0 site that enables anyone to raise funds dynamically. People should be able to embed the widget on their own site, supporters should be able to take action right from the widget, and preset options should be provided to format the widget for different sites.
Looks like that solution already exists, and exactly to my previous specifications. How convenient! My next step in the process of trying to raise $15 million for Kiva.org (a 2007 goal) would be to find out if the two can integrate. ChipIn works perfect for 99.9% of fund raising initiatives where people give money and it’s never returned, but what about with Kiva where your money is a loan that’s paid back to you over the next year? Could this gadget coordinate payment tracking and get people their money back as well? I’ve e-mailed the dev. team @ ChipIn and it turns out it can! Perfect!
Stay tuned as I follow this project & I’ll share the code to embed this gadget. With this kind of tool at our disposal, I’m confident we’ll raise the $15 million. Don’t you love how things can work out?
