Idée acf2300:

Charity CHAMPS - Spread the spirit of giving!

Affichée le octobre 27, 2009

• Coût : À petit budget (moins de 10 000 $)

Charity CHAMPS is building a web community that acts like a loyalty program to develop socially responsible attitudes in youth through microphilanthropy. Like an Air Miles card that gets people in the habit of buying certain services or products by rewarding them, the Charity CHAMPS site will get youth in the habit of doing good--in essence becoming loyal to social responsibility!

BACKGROUND

Empowering Youth

We believe good kids grow up to be good adults. The only way that we can solve the world’s increasingly challenging problems is if every generation grows up more socially responsible than the last. The Canadian Survey of Giving, Volunteering, and Participating (CSVP) from Statistics Canada found clear connections between early life experiences and the rate of donating in later life--those who were involved with community activities as youth donated more than their peers as adults.

However while youth are not nearly as engaged as they could be in social good. The study also found that youth get involved in philanthropy less than other age groups. Not only that, but youth (particularly 15 to 19 year olds), are more likely than other age groups to not volunteer because they were not asked, or because they don’t know how to become involved.

Microphilanthropy

Microphilanthropy makes social good more accessible, empowering, and increases involvement. Also, because youth spend a significant amount of time developing and learning online today, this is an ideal mechanism to develop healthy, socially responsible attitudes in today's youth. Three videos below elaborate on microphilanthropy, the impact of social media, and the importance of online activities in youth development.

IDEA DETAILS

Charity CHAMPS will be a web community that encourages youth to get involved in online microphilanthropy. Charity CHAMPS members will be given points for good deeds done at one of the many microphilanthropy sites such as www.helpfromhome.com, www.care2.com, or www.freerice.com. These points will be convertible to rewards, so that doing good becomes habit forming as well as rewarding. See the attached diagram called "How Actions Become Rewards" for a depiction of this.

The rewards will be tailored to fit into the online world that youths already enjoy, where online games and role-play are popular. The video attached illustrates how the rewards would be used. As the youth develop their character's online profile of good accomplishments, they will be able to share them through other social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and potentially other virtual worlds like that available through the Nintendo Wii. This fun, sharing and socializing activity will further encourage involvement in microphilanthropy amongst peers, and repeat behaviour.

Thus the web community at www.charitychamps.org will create, grow, and inspire a community of ordinary people who, by contributing small actions together, achieve large charitable goals. By empowering youth to be more engaged in socially responsible activities, we will play an important role in developing a generation motivated to tackle the world’s growing challenges.

IMPACT

The ideal Charity CHAMPS member is between 13 and 25 years of age. Our goal is to engage 300,000 youth in this age group from across Canada. To put this in perspective, this is only 5% of the 6 million users in this age group in Canada that Facebook alone reported in 2008. Now assuming that members make only 10 actions a year, Charity CHAMPS will be responsible for roughly 3,000,000 empowering actions of philanthropy every year once fully operational and promoted.

LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS, LONGEVITY, & SUSTAINABILITY

The costs of launching, maintaining, and promoting a website are very low relative to capital or service-based projects. Charity CHAMPS is a volunteer-run organization, with a background in web-application design and Internet marketing, and have held leadership roles on several other for-profit and non-profit organizations. All costs beyond initial launch will be funded through revenue streams such as advertising, consulting, and partnerships.

The following budget breaks down the high level tasks required to launch the site, and the estimated costs of performing them based on past experience with consultants, some outsourced:

Visual Design 40 hrs professional at $60/hr = $2,400

40 hrs existing volunteer

Interaction Design

80 hrs existing volunteer

Illustration Male and female characters = Already paid for

Secret additional character = Existing Volunteer

Software Development

60 hours of core local development @ $100/hr = $6000

60 hours of outsourced development @ $20/hr = $1200

Marketing and Promotion

Social media advertising = $100

Public Relations

Partnerships (eg. SkyRocketKids, Social Actions, Better The World, etc.)

School presentations

Total $9700

• jc2yang

  What an original idea! I think it's very important to get youth involved because they seem to be getting less and less involved. I have worked with some teenagers who volunteer in order to meet their high school credits and many of them put in little to no effort. Making them appreciate the importance of volunteering at a young age will help motivate them to do this in later life. Your idea seems to be very well thought out and I hope you make it to the finals. Good Luck!

  I spend my days teaching kids, and almost every class I teach revolves around information we find on-line or material we put there. During their free time, my kids spend hours a day on-line. This is has to be one of the most significant change in the way kids currently spend their free time and how they gather information. This is new in the past decade. This Charity Champs idea is directly connected to both where kids are and how kids gather information. It has almost a guaranteed chance of being successful.

• poshprincess

  I think is a splendid idea! I'm a 19 year old student myself and to be honest, I have not volunteered at all since highschool, where I was forced to do 40 hours of community service in order to graduate. It's not that I don't like to volunteer for my community (because believe me, it does feel good when you know you've made a valuable contribution), but it's more because I have a lot of things in my schedule and there doesn't seem to be room for volunteering when i have to already juggle school, work and assignments. When i do have free time, i feel like just relaxing and playing some games online and chatting with friends on msn. The reason I think this idea is brilliant is because it doesn't take as much time out of my daily schedule since it is a web community and being a teenager, I'm always online anyway. Also the reward makes a great incentive for many busy teenagers (or lazy) :P to be able to contribute while still having time to ourselves. And I know this may sound greedy but t
  décembre 9, 2009 @ 4:28 EST

  
  

• poshprincess

  And I know this may sound greedy but the reward does acutally make a great difference because many of us are struggling financially so when we have time, we prefer to work for money rather than volunteer for free even though we do want to want others. With the incentive of the points, I know for me, I would definately participate and tell my friends about it too. I really think this idea will have a deep impact on teenagers.

  Hello & here's a vote but please read this carefully. I send this to all in the Top 15 this weekend. I am a supporter of Gabriola BC Clinic since Day 1 but I am NOT asking for your support. I have a different suggestion that I hope will appeal to EVERYONE voting daily: SEND A VOTE also at Yannick (2610). He is wallowing with under 5000 votes but only need US$10,000. We have a saying where I work in Africa: "When elephants compete it is the grass that suffers." Yannick's project deserves to have 25,000 votes more than any of us frankly ... he is disadvantaged and just needs transportation; many do not access the web site as it is mainly in French. I dare you to go read the "idea" and not be moved by it. Let's keep voting for ourselves as always, but also let's try to put Yannick on Top to point out that, ultimately, this whole contest is about the individual - every one of us. Let's make this our communal cause in these last days. Thanks for your time. BOOST YANNICK DAILY! (2610)

  Thanks to everyone and here is a vote from me on Gabriola Island (acf 3958). But I am really here to urge you to join the "Top 15" Challenge to BOOST YANNICK who is still way near the bottom. Thanks to those who have already responded (even if you can not read French). He is a boy of 9 years age with Down's Syndrome & only needs $10,000 for some transport but is way below the 25 cutoff so will miss out if he doesn't get a BOOST. Everyone in the TOP 15 is golden with continued hard work. But let's put an individual - a real single face - on Top over the next few days. We all compete very well but let's show we can also cooperate for a good self-less common cause! Go visit Yannick at acf 2610.

  My votes are for all of you in the top 60.,realizing that not everyone will make the top 25. I am so amazed by all the comments in all of the categories and ideas. Every idea is deserving of support. This has brought so many communities together to support each other's ideas. Let's all vote for each other tomorrow. Thank you to Aviva for creating this opportunity. I know the lasting alliances and friendships between our communities can go on, long after the voting ends. Let us take time to reflect, not only on our effort for our own ideas, but for everyone who has supported our ideas, friends, family, neighbours, etc. Thank you.

  Wow - I like the fact that this is a completely different way of looking at how non-profits typically have to take the pains and efforts to raise money. And it takes less than $10K to get going. This is a really good chance to flip the model sideways and do so much more so many other different charities. Kudos to Charity Champs for trying to develop something not so much as for themselves, but for so many more charities out there that need the help. Good luck to you all!

  NWAI Your charity concept is significant because it reaches out to many non profit charitable organizations. A lot of proposals are for a local interest groups, no matter how intrinsically good it is, is It is only good for a limited number of people of a particular community. However, your charity concept embraces the needs of a diverse profile of a under privilege sector of society in different communities across Canada. Further, your concept is also reaching out to the youth in a meaningful way in their daily use of the internet for GOOD rather than Bad purposes. The youth need to buy into a purpose in life. Your Charity CHAMPS provides the vehicle for giving kids an important purpose. Fun and Good are combined to help the needy. Because of this, your proposal would be significant for society and the youth. Charity CHAMPS should be given a chance to go forward and become a reality with the necessary funds. Mission Command and all the people who support this remarkable
