We've developed a new social portal that allows blood recipients to say thanks to their unknown donors. Thank Your Donor gives a chance for people to hear all the positive effects that their blood donations are having.

We're hoping this will encourage more people to donate!

Check out one of the videos that a recipient made to say thanks:

• Integration instructions

• Marketing materials – PayPal for Non-Profit Fundraising and Non-Profit FAQs

• Information about PayPal's special offer for nonprofits

Interestingly, there isn't much buzz about this at all online. When I Googled, "PayPal Developer Donation Kit," the only people writing about it was the San Jose Neighborhood Chamber of Commerce. They have a Neighborhood Chamber of Commerce Certified Official Webmaster Community:

Blogging for Chickens: Using Your Blog to Raise Money for a Good Cause

Britt Bravo — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 16:12:28 -0400

Darren Rowse celebrated ProBlogger's second birthday by raising $1100 (AU), or about $830 US, to buy 110 pairs of chickens for impoverished families via Oxfam Australia. He put a percentage of his weekly blogging income into buying chickens and invited his readers to contribute as well. Readers could give in one of two ways: donate to Oxfam Australia directly, and send Darren an e-card during the purchasing process to let him know how many chickens they had purchased, or send him a donation via PayPal with a note saying that it was for the "chickens project."
