At the beginning of December, nptech blogger extraordinaire, Beth Kanter, created a Network for Good Charity Badge for the Sharing Foundation's education programs, and began a campaign to win a $50,000 matching grant from Yahoo!. In order to win, the Sharing Foundation had to have the most individal donors give through the Sharing Foundation's Network for Good Charity Badge. In three weeks, they raised $49,537 from 745 donors and won the Yahoo! Matching grant of $50,000. Second runner up was WorldChanging with 522 donors giving $12,767. Third runner up was Global Justice with 261 donors giving $14,321.
Even though the competition is over, you can still give to the Sharing Foundation through the badge on Beth's blog. At this writing, she's raised an additional $480 since the contest ended on the 31st.
You can also set up a Network for Good Charity Badge for the cause of your choice on your own blog or web site. All you have to do is:
1. Register to create a badge.
2. Upload photos (and a video if you have one).
3. Select your charity(ies).
4. Put it on your blog or web site.
And ask Beth for personal fundraising campaign advice!
