Do you thinking providing funding to individual kids is more successful than creating a pool for everyone? I'd feel bad for the one student that for whatever reason happens to be overlooked by the internet, while their peer gets funded. What if you grouped students by school or class? That way the potential failure or rejection is shared by the group rather than just one kid.

I think people prefer to donate to people vs a cause. I do like the idea of grouping students by class, however I want to keep the goal amount as low as possible. We are focused on making charity more accessible to the masses, so I want someone who donates $5 to feel like they have a direct impact. This would dilute if the goal was $1000 vs $100.
