Latest Facebook fundraising app comes from GlobalGiving

Howard Lake | 23 September 2007 | Blogs

I just noticed under the ‘newest’ tab in the Facebook application directory that GlobalGiving, the US nonprofit which connects donors to grassroots charity projects around the world, is the latest fundraising organisation to launch a Facebook supporter app (I’ve reviewed some of the other key apps in an earlier post).
Similar to Kiva.org and DonorsChoose.org, GlobalGiving also uses the social networking power of the internet to enable potential donors anywhere in the world to find and fund projects of specific interest to them – offering previously unknown levels of donor choice and involvement.
And as with Kiva and DonorsChoose, there’s lots to be learned from a visit to the GlobalGiving site for any organisation looking to develop its online fundraising.
