Announcing GiveGetWin: Do good for the world, get great things in return

A big day -- I'm really thrilled to introduce you to GiveGetWin.com -- the basic idea is that providers generously agree to make their very valuable products and services available for purchase at insanely good rates, with all the proceeds going to charity.

We've already lined up some amazing and outstanding people, and they're bringing things for a fraction of the normal cost in order to benefit the world. We're really trying to make every offer a no-brainer: the first one, Stepan Parunashvili offering an advanced design class, is only priced at $20. Crazy-good value.

In a big sense, what are we trying to do here?

When we looked at all the good that was possible to do in the world, we saw two big barriers that stop many people from getting involved in helping out --

1. Most people already have a set charity budget (or perceive that they're not really in a position to give to a charity) -- so much of charity fundraising is playing a zero-sum game of competing for those limited charity dollars.
