YourCause.com Expands Nonprofit Platform beyond Fundraising

(I-Newswire) March 4, 2010 - DALLAS — YourCause.com, a social media site that equips caring people with the power of the Internet to grow awareness, raise funds and campaign for their favorite nonprofit, introduces new functionality for nonprofits where administrators can expand their outreach beyond fundraising.

YourCause.com provides free premier campaign tools for nonprofits including a customizable charity page and promotional space on an online medium that contains donation reports, automatic thank-you notes and of course, the opportunity to be part of a large charitable community.

In an effort to continually enhance the community experience for nonprofits and users alike, YourCause.com has created two new functions within the charity page today: Needs & Volunteer Opportunities. Nonprofit administrators, supporters, volunteers and donors can now access and/or upload individual nonprofit needs that may expand beyond dollar signs such as tangible items like tools and canned goods. In addition, each nonprofit administrator has the ability to upload volunteer opportunities directly within their charity page, which populates in their page’s feed and the YourCause community volunteer page.

“As always, we’re looking forward to see what our community and most importantly, nonprofit administrators do with these features,” said Matthew Combs, YourCause.com founder. “We know it can only fuel participation and interaction both internally and externally and therefore, encourage our members to take advantage of it.”

The functionality is designed to be easy to update and secure. Validated nonprofit administrators are the only ones who can access the ability to add and edit their page, needs list and volunteer opportunities. If you’re interested in joining the community, utilizing the YourCause platform and gaining administrator rights to your nonprofit organization, please email Charity[at]yourcause.com.
