Giving on Facebook If you missed your opportunity to donate to a nonprofit on Facebook during “America’s Giving Challenge”, which raised more than $1 million from more than 50,000 donations in 3 weeks, you now have another chance to give on Facebook. A new program is going live today called the Chase Community Giving Program, between Chase and Facebook. What this means is: · Facebook users, now totaling more than 300 million, will be able to vote for which small and local non profits will receive donations totaling $5 million · The eligible charity receiving the most votes will be awarded $1 million, the top five runners-up will receive $100,000 each and the 100 finalists, including the top winners, will be awarded $25,000 each · This $5 million Facebook effort is in addition to the bank’s traditional philanthropic giving, and if successful, the bank hopes to commit more of its annual philanthropy funds using this innovative method of giving. We’ve already seen a lot of people casting their votes on Facebook, so now it’s your turn! |
