Ask HN: A Kickstarter for nonprofit projects?

Kickstarter is awesome, but we found out the hard way (after having spent too much time getting people excited about a project) that there is a fairly narrow range of projects that they will accept (see Project Guidelines, http://www.kickstarter.com/help/guidelines), and they are particularly uninterested in nonprofit or charity organizations.

So my dear hackers, is there something out there as awesome as Kickstarter for the nonprofit community?
