Hey,
Thanks for the post. You raise some valid points but I think you have totally misunderstood the concept. The money being raised on indiegogo is not for the ex-offenders themselves. The money being raised initially is to set up a crowdfunding site that will give ex-offenders a platform to raise money for all sorts of different charity projects. They will receive no personal financial gain whatsoever.
The idea is that by being involved in these sort of projects they will feel a sense of personal satisfaction which in turn will reduce the chances of them re-offending.
The idea is most definitely not to line their pockets, but instead for them to work selflessly for the good of others. And the only reason the crypto-currency will be converted into GBP is so that indiegogo gets to take their fee and does not remove the project for accepting crypto donations. Please check out the link for more details-

OK, so if I understand correctly, you will provide work in the form of community service to the ex-offenders. ??
If I get it right then it's not bad.
Will they volunteer for it or is it going to be an actual job for them?
