Shared Nation

Today, I joined Shared Nation an interesting variation on a crowdsourcing theme. Here’s the general idea: “Every month Shared Nation citizens pool their money. Great causes and organizations vie for the money in that ‘pot.’ One organization wins about 80% of the group’s shared money while every organization gets some small amount just for taking part.” All citizens who contribute to Shared Nation get a say in deciding where the bulk of funds ultimately are directed.
