Do we need this many charities in America?

Paul Lamb writes:

So how we can innovate the sector as a whole so any nonprofit can do better regardless of the prevailing economic winds?

One radical idea is to adjust the nonprofit model and begin to let communities engage directly with causes and people in need.

Taking a page from the playbook of peer-to-peer services such as eBay, charity "buyers" and "sellers" could engage directly without the need for a middleman.

Instead of giving money to the United Way to support food banks, why not give the money directly to the hungry?
