I'd like to brainstorm innovations for effective altruism. Is it possible to make a bitcoin fork that donates to Effective Altruism while you use it, while being otherwise equal to bitcoin other than in initial popularity?

I recall there being some altcoin that seeded itself with donations to charities, and Googling 'nonprofit altcoin' gives things like the Clean Water Coin. My guess is this idea sounds better than it is (note that the CWC has donated $2k, which I suspect is a low return on time so far).
