New Social Networking Site Kicks Off with Contest for Nonprofits
Everyone's debating the effectiveness of social networking tools for fundraising campaigns. A new social networking site, Razoo, seems to want to cut to chase: they're going to give $10,000 to a nonprofit organization that signs up at least 100 new members by September 15th. And it's not just a numbers game, as the winning nonprofit organization will actually be selected from the community based on their social change projects. Here's more from their site:
"Any social change organization that creates a Razoo Group and recruits at least 100 members to join by September 15th will be entered into the Change Your World Contest. The Razoo community will then vote for its favorite organization to select the winner of the contest. The prize is a $10,000 donation to your organization, and a high-profile online campaign built around your issues and work."
You can find out more about the contest here.
Thanks for the link. Also take a look at our charity social network site: http://www.helpalot.org
We focus more on finding charity projects you can trust. Using evaluations and placing organisations in a social context.
Interesting PR strategy, with the 10.000 dollars. Another site, a bit like razoo, is change.org. I personally like the design of change.org a bit more.
Thanks for spreading the word about Razoo's Change Your World contest. We're psyched to be offering $10,000 to organizations/groups making a positive change in our world. The field is wide open, so there's still plenty of opportunity to be in the running for the prize -- good luck!
Cheers,
