Event Details

Causes was founded on the belief that in a healthy society, anyone can participate in change by informing and inspiring others. The most successful movements have always been born out of and held together by the bonds of real world relationships, and online social networks present never before seen opportunities for organizing. Causes has become a powerful tool in the social web, allowing nonprofits and individuals activists to raise awareness around the issues they care about.

Causes allows you to do more than fundraise but it did announce that $10,000,000 has been raised in the past two years through the application on Facebook and MySpace.  Causes translated this into:

* Clean drinking water for 50,000 people for 20 years
* 1 million bed nets to stop the spread of malaria
* Safe, private shelter for 10,000 refugee families of five
* First-time internet access for 100,000 low-income households
* 50,000 baskets of baby chickens for families in Cameroon

Are you tapping into this potential? Or could your nonprofit be using Causes to amplify your community of supporters?  

Join us for our August Ask the Expert when we'll talk about Causes and answer YOUR questions with Joe Green, co-founder and president of Causes.
