For whatever reason, we can get neither private investors (with a couple of small exceptions) nor grant-giving agencies to invest in our blogging-for-others project (Blogswana). Perhaps we'll try ChipIn. I think the idea has to capture the imagination of enough people regardless of the fundraising mechanisms you have in place. Perhaps we're going at it in too "chunky" a fashion, as in all or nothing. I'll definitely go over and check out what I can find about these two projects' relationship to fundraising. Kiva we already have blogrolled but Menu for Hope I hadn't heard of. I wish we could have made it down.
