Web 2.0 Service: Design Donations

From a psychological standpoint, symbiotic relationships make for good business. Case in point: Those who make do and those who design - The ones who tolerate bad function and horrible design have to grit their teeth and get constantly frustrated and the designers irked by the lack of fluidity and overall performance of the original purpose. This feeling so strong many times designers will hand out donations of redesigns, which could be utilized for the good of others. (see: One Laptop Per Child, Design for Good, and Design for the Other 90%)

So where do you connect the need and the product? Programmers and Graphic Designers have auctions for freelance jobs, so why not a recognition-payoff forum for charities and the generous? Charities post their need, and those who have the resources and skill make their bid in terms of time and resources.

Obviously, this doesn't have to be confined to design work - it could be applied to volunteers, equipment donations, and various other needs. It would be great if charities could spend less money on organization and streamlining their work and more to meet the need of others.

Other ideas:
- include mashup/collaboration with charity directories
