With a bit of googling there seem to be quite a number of sites for arranging freelance work like this. I don't know if anyone here has an experience with such a site or would be able to recommend one, but my guess would be that it might be easiest and most transparent to just post your requests on such a site and announce it here, especially if you also want to let others donate.
