20.000 dollar! Does anyone here know if there is something like a kickstarter for people that make the news? I always feel so bad for these guys.

Maybe something like Chipin.com - no experience with them.

Paypal might not be "dependable" and Kickstarter doesn't really do "funding for a cause" from what I've seen.

I applied to Kickstarter for a project to create a PayPal alternative, soon after Kickstarter launched. They rejected it.
