With regards to the platform, the intention is to remove the many administrative costs and fraudulent activities that are unfortunately evident with donations and charity funds. Not the actual foundation but with how much of the donation actually ends up in the hands of the foundation. With a platform we intend on building a direct framework that enables the transfer of funds directly to the foundation with the use of smart contracts. The platform will support the foundations and projects with an easy way of converting crytpo into USD as they might not have the right resource to setup a wallet and deal with exchanges for the conversion.
Since as you rightfully said, there are many of these organisations and private projects, the voting process adds a layer of auditing and to ensure legitimate foundations and projects are being funded.
