Cool idea.

According to this CNN article, there are several crowdfunding campaigns to raise money in support of Ahmed Mohamed -- for example, this LaunchGood campaign. (There are more, but I can't vouch for their authenticity.)

And quite a few sites are selling T-shirts and other merchandise in support of the young man, but I don't know how many are donating the proceeds to him or non-profit organizations.

As always, I advise using your research skills and best judgement when sending money in support of a worthy cause.
