Here is a very elegant and simple platform for social ventures to compete against each other for funding. The site lets you pledge money for the organization(s) you want to support most and based on these votes will select the top 25. The competition will complete in 48 days, so go here to vote!
Here is a description directly from the site:
The Unreasonable Finalist Marketplace gives the world a chance to weigh in on which 25 social ventures from around the world will be selected to attend the Unreasonable Institute’s mentor-intensive, 10-week, summer incubation program. The 37 finalists profiled on this marketplace have been selected from an initial pool of 284 ventures from 45 countries and, from our perspective, are working on social ventures that future generation may one day recall as having changed the course of history. The first 25 of these 37 ventures to raise the $6,500 it costs to attend the Unreasonable Institute will be the ones selected to attend. And the decision rests in your hands!
