Blogging for Charity
Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks | Filed under: Marketing
Network for Good is offering charity badges, little web widgets bloggers can add to their sites that help raise money for the charity of your choice (and as soon as MySpace and Facebook functionality is up, this will go far beyond bloggers). Anyone can basically create a badge that promotes the charity of their choice (as long as it's registered with Network for Good) and customize it with their own text, photos, etc. and slap it on their site. The badge shows how many donations and how much money you've raised for your cause. How cool is that?
The project is supported by Yahoo! and they even offered a matching grant to the top fund raiser in the first month ($49,537 went to the Sharing Foundation). You can also check out the top 10 fundraisers.
For non-profits this is a cool way to mobilize your donors to raise money for you--just make sure you're on Network for Good. For businesses this is a cool way to raise money for your favorite charity of choice. (link via Nonprofit Blog Exchange)
