ChipIn Fundraising Widget Case Study
In 2006, Beth Kanter raised over $800 in a couple weeks to fund a college education for Leng Sopharath, a Cambodian orphan, using ChipIn. You can learn how she did, and how you can do it too at: widgetfundraising.org
As Nick Booth posted about on Saturday, you can also listen to Beth talk about online fundraising and widgets on the Podnosh podcast and download a beginner's guide to online fundraising from the Podnosh site.
Full disclosure: I am on ChipIn's Nonprofit Advisory Board.

Widgets Working to Save the World: ChipIn & Yahoo/Network for Good Charity Badges
For those of you who followed Beth Kanter's fundraising campaign for the Sharing Foundation using ChipIn, you saw how it can be a powerful tool for nonprofits. ChipIn will even be adding features in January specially designed for nonprofits (full disclosure, I am on their nonprofit advisory board). They have been nominated for a Widget of the Year award on Mashable, but the competition is stiff, and they'll need lots of votes to win. If you'd like to help ChipIn out, click here, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and in the comments box type: "vote: chipin." Correction: Voting for the Social Networking Awards has ended. Here are the winners.
