This is not permissible; in a fatwa about paying prizes to winners from fees collected from all contestant in a basket ball league I mentioned that it is not permissible; and 2) Here is a cause that is trivial on one hand and cooperative or association-based on the other (being good is not a factor because lottery is prohibited in spite of its good cause).
