I looked at this a little closer. Nice cause, but you don't get any money for your idea. Google takes the top 5 ideas, and funds them by finding an organization who they feel is best suited to implement your idea.

On NPR this morning someone stated that failure to read the fine print when signing a deal may have helped bring down the Wall Street mortgage investment companies like a house of cards. I know it's off the topic, but you always got to read the fine print.
