Involver: How Nonprofits Can Create Video Campaigns for Social Networks.
How would you mashup the Network for Good donation processing service with other services to make it easier for nonprofits to raise money online? Submit your ideas to the DonateNow Mashup Challenge sponsored by the Case Foundation by May 19.
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.
