Combine Facebook Causes pages with Basecamp and the ability to take PayPal and credit card donations, and what do you get? Zurich-based startup Amazee comes out of beta today with a “collaboration platform” which allows people to organize, track, promote and fund projects of any size.
As well as taking donations, projects can also sell banner ad space on their home pages and the revenues are shared between the project and Amazee. Additional functionalities like the ability to run closed projects and advanced search will attract a fee of $19.95 for three months. The site is headquartered in Zurich and has an office in San Francisco.
Amazee has also been signed up to provide the social platform which will back Chicago’s bid of the 2016 Olympic games (it’s down to the final four), aiming at students to create content for the “Why Chicago” competition.
Update: Looks like Amazee will be kind’ve competing, in various guises, with sites like Change.org, dotherightthing and Six Degrees.
See all

You forgot to mention Amazon.com. I’m guessing Amazee is derived from Amazon? It seems like a crowded market already with Google Code, Microsoft Codeflex and SourgeForge.

Facebook Causes already takes credit card donations (no need for PayPal).
I would like to see an online platform that speeds up the creation process for non-profits (helps file 501(3)(c) docs, etc)
apart from that charged from paypal, I think that is a good collaborative tool.
What the status of Project Agape ?
Agape became Facebooks Causes app:

crap
Awesome concept. Been waiting for something like this … it would be cool if they created an affilate program with other charitable organizations (eg. Room to Read ..etc)
if u have 5 minutes to waste, watch the most amateur and laughable intro to any website, ever made. is that guy deaf? is he signing? is he visually impaired? do his hand movements help us understand his repetition of what we already know from the home page… rubbish… good luck though guys, so much for swedish talent. crap.
