YourCause.com - Get Involved in Charitable Fundraising

YourCause is a platform for charitable causes. Basically, it helps users organize a web page to support and promote the cause of their choice. This way donors can find causes, members can rally up aid for their favorite charities and the community gets involved to make the world a better place. Each cause page includes a quick profile about the member who set up the page itself, along with a synopsis of the problem, tags, and a mission statement. On the left side you’ll find tools for emailing the person in charge, a link for sharing with friends, and event calendar, and testimonials. Each cause is also rated by the community. There are separate tabs for browsing community members as well as charities. There’s also a section for celebrities and their causes, e.g. Orlando Bloom and his fight to find a cure for EB, or Morgan Freeman’s help fight natural disasters cause.

“Donors can find causes, members can promote and fundraise for their favorite charity, and the community provides support to everybody.

Does YourCause have widgets that could be placed on blogs and social networks? This could help drum up cash and attention. How can users add charities? Do all proceeds go to the charities?
