I agree! And I think everyone should choose Kiva Spirit Foundation (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization)... or at least go to their site and donate a few bucks (www.kivaspirit.org).

Too much?

This is not a bad idea, as some people would like to do this. I think this would be a great cause marketing concept for Mahalo Answers, as in a round about way Mahalo would be helping out good causes. There is a website called Stickk where you put a contract on yourself to do something, and if you do not fulfill your contract, then you can choose to donate to charity. Some other sites do this as well. I do not see why Mahalo would not do this. You should definitely email them at feedback@mahalo.com and see what they say.

If you are impatient for Mahalo to set up a way to donate the money directly to charity, you can join us at Kiva where some of us have already been contributing our Mahalo money as loans for third world entrepreneurs. We're up to 10 members and $200 in loans already.

I'd like this feature if it was available. I would definitely want to choose the charity though; I disapprove of a lot of them.

That's a very good question! I hope our friends, the "grand masters", will answer it and post the answer as a public notice so's I can donate mine, too! Thanks very much for posting it! (I'm not in it for the money. Like Mahalo, "I'm here to help.")
