Help needed with 'informed donating' facebook application

Project:
The 'informed donating' facebook application aims to help people make informed decisions when donating to charities. It makes information about charities from a government database available to facebook users. Facebook users can for example see how much a charity spends on fund raising, administration, etc. and how much it spends on the actual programs. Facebook users can write reviews, see which charities their friends support, and more.

Status of the project:
Some of the basic functionality is there: a 'dummy' mysql database has some tables with charity information. Users can add entries to their facebook profile, write reviews, see which charities their friends support. A copy of the official database will be arriving soon. The application is scheduled for 'launch' in march 2008.

Help needed:
Anybody who has experience developing sites with php, mysql, or is good at making sites look better or more user friendly, your help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me if you would like to help out or have any questions.

Cheers,

Iman


Note: the first version will use a database from the canadian government. Hopefully we can see international expansion in future versions.
