I came across this website which I think is just genius. Creative genius for creative people. Creative philanthropy began when a girl who remains anonymous was given lots of money. Being of a generous nature she spent it on her friends, but found this unsatisfactory, so gave her friends each $100 to give away in a creative manner. This they did on the condition that they all met up a year later and share their creative stories. They did. And they gave money to their friends, and it begun, a huge network of people are giving money away in $100 in creative ways all over the USA. How beautiful?!

Now this is all very well but and I would love to participate, but it is not exactly appealing to poor students such as myself.
My idea-with £50 of my own money, I want to ask all of my friends to offer an creative giving idea for a small fee say....£5. A meeting is held to chat about all the ideas submitted and vote for the best one. Whoever wins will get the £50 to use as they suggested. The total amount of money made by ideas submitted would be the next amount used to creatively give away and boom! The ball is rolling...
