Donate Your Time And Things Or Buy a Celeb's For Good Causes
Filed under: Auctions, Charity
A corset from Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad tour is just one of the items available on Allthis, a new social media website that offers a new way to support a cause. Billed as the marketplace for things money can't buy, the site lets you create a listing to donate an item or a service that other people can bid on. Of course you can also bid on any existing auction item or create a new one (Rihanna's corset was listed at just $150 last time I checked). Other celeb items up for bid include a chance to have Ben Stiller record your outgoing voice mail message.In addition, non-profits, clubs, companies, or any type of affinity group can create teams to raise money together for a common cause. The difference between this and other types of charity fund raising drives is that it allows people to each do or contribute what they are good at rather than creating a single task that everyone has to contribute to. Listers are charged a modest flat fee per item.
"We created allthis with a vision to leverage an individual's expertise and network as an alternative method of donation, while giving non-profits a creative way to excite and unite their supporters," said
Paul Weinstein, CEO and co-founder of allthis.com. "Ranging from access to the influential, engagement with the creative, to the downright silly, what people have to offer is infinitely diverse."
