Apparently others have started organizations similar to Spotlight. See this note from one of my colleagues.

How would you like to be a Fairy Godmother? Karen Lassen of Berkeley is one and she can help you start a Fairy Godmother Society group just like hers (karenllassen@comcast.net). Ten years ago she started it with her friends because she realized that working as a group has more advantages than individually especially when it comes to being philanthropic. The 9 members meet 3 times a year for lunch and between lunches they search the East Bay to find organizations that need help. The group votes and sends off a letter to the winner along with their checks. They raise about $1400 per meeting and over the past 10 years have given away more than $30,000 to needy organizations.
