Here are some places that Mashable gathered for those who want to help raise money for good causes–either as a giver or an organizer–using internet speed and social media. Either way, you’re a philanthropist!
Facebook Causes - “Whether you are an activist who wants to stop genocide or a nonprofit that promotes literacy, Causes can be your platform. It is a tool to help people go from caring about issues to doing something to make change.”
Razoo - Non-profits can have their own page, and can also build project specific pages for events or fundraising drives. Razoo’s widget allows non-profits to port their fundraising initiative to other social sites, and also enables donors to share on their Facebook and Twitter networks.
Twitpay - and its RT2Give platform, designed specifically for everyone’s favorite 140 character-based social network, Twitter, focuses on the viral nature of Twitter, creating donations based on re-tweets — and of course, re-tweets equate to more visibility.
Crowdrise- is a grassroots fundraising service that creates fun ways for your network to go and promote, including contests, giveaways and promotions. Kate Olsen of Network for Good said they “are enamored [with their] fun approach…and kitschy call to action messaging on social media outposts’”
ChipIn - A simple widget allows a non-profit to have complete control of funding via PayPal. Non-profits embed the ChipIn widget on a variety of websites or create their own ChipIn page. The widget does integrate a wide variety of social network portability beyond the big two (Facebook and Twitter), including Digg and Delicious.
Ammado - Based in Ireland, ammado’s big differentiator is its international reach, with more than 30 currencies accepted. Individuals can create their own grassroots pages, provide recurring donations, and share their donation or fundraising project via the most popular social networks.
