I would set up a website where everyone can put up an intention that focuses on the benefit of the world as a whole.

So for example, I would like to add these intentions among others:

Every human being has access to 2000 calories worth of food each day.
Every human being has access to 4 liters of clean water each day.
Every human being has access to at least 20 square meters of private shelter.
Every human being has access to either the heating or the clothes to keep his body warm.
Every human being only takes from others what is freely given.
No human being tries to force his personal opinion upon others.
etc. etc.

Then I would let every human being submit actions that he has taken or results he has achieved towards the manifestation of these intentions, so that you could make known that you used your savings and went to Africa to dig a well for a remote village to manifest the intention of providing everyone in this world with clean water. If you did this together with your partner and your children you could indicate that you believe you and and your partner contributed 30% each and that your two children contributed 20% each.

Then I would give everyone the opportunity to comment on these actions, so that if I checked the story out and found out that you never dug that well or that you charged the village 10.000 dollars for digging the well, I could also make it known.

Then, every day for a 1000 days, I would distribute 1.000.000 dollars among those that have taken some action or achieved something towards the manifestation of these global intentions. To do this fairly I would let every man record how he would use today's 1 million dollars to reward actions taken and results achieved.
To determine how he wants to distribute the rewards he can simply view the intentions he desires to manifest, view what actions were taken, view what others had to say about these actions and decide with what percentage of the million dollars he would like to reward the action taken/the result achieved.

Then at the end of every day the system would calculate the averages of this distribution (so if 10 people voted on the distribution and one of them voted to give 100% of the reward to a single action, that action would receive 10% of the reward) and then distribute it amongst the people that have taken these actions/achieved these results.

All in all, I think that would give quite a boost towards global charity. Maybe soon more people would be willing to donate some money to the system and who knows, perhaps one day we will donate everything we earn to the system, to the world. And well, then there won't really be any money anymore. We'll live in a world where we just help each other achieve our shared intentions without any financial motivation whatsoever.

Sounds like fun!
