Why not just start a fund that takes ad revenues from any site that wants to join. Less Wrong could be the founding member but any site that wanted to could direct ad revenue to the fund. A lot of sites don't make enough to bother- a few dollars a month. But if you get 10,000 small blogs and a couple hundred large ones... thats a decent sized fund. And once the system is already in place then it gets easier to convince larger sites to join. There is a norm of sites giving their ad revenue to charity, etc.

Excellent idea. How many Less Wrong members have their own blogs and would participate in this?
