My suggestion would be to use the money to pay for enhancements to Org.
Take a look at the list of projects for Org, find the most difficult and
complex project(s), put the money into a fund to be given to the
developer(s) who provide the best approach to solving the problems
involved.

Wasn't there a website somewhere that provided a means for managing
this type of idea?  (Pledgie?)
