"The apps serve a dual purpose: increasing awareness about a cause and enabling users to take action in support of it. Holly Ross, executive director of the Nonprofit Technology Network, says grabbing a spot on people's phones helps organizations forge more personal connections with supporters and leverage their often spontaneous desire to do good. At the same time charitable apps give users an easily accessible way to feel they are making a difference. It's still early days for such apps. Most nonprofits consider websites and e-mail their most important technology investments, according to Ross. Social media efforts, such as Facebook or Twitter, usually come next, followed by mobile. Part of the reason is cost. Developing a sophisticated iPhone app can run $30,000 to $50,000--a considerable outlay for a nonprofit or fledgling organization, particularly when it's not obvious how the expense will be recouped. Unlike, say, mobile games, most civic-minded apps are distributed for free. Most also refrain from soliciting donations, in part because Apple ( AAPL - news - people ) bans apps that do so from its App Store. (There have been several high-profile mobile donation programs, but they focused on text messages, not apps.) "We're at an in-between stage," says Ross. "Apps are still an extra, and rightfully so.""

reason i ask... having been around the "offroading community" for quite awhile, and my intense lack of respect for those who disrespect the lands i ride on, i am working on integrating an app to expose those individuals, publicly humiliate them, and then, icing on the cake, report them to the proper authorities. would this catch anyone's eye?
