The Snoball Effect

I know its January and in parts of the world it is snowing but now regardless of where you live you can create a snowball effect of giving thru the incredible new website called Snoball.

Snoball is a new social media concept that lets you donate to over 1.6 million nonprofits through customizable micro-donations or one-time gifts. Share your causes with friends, and watch your snoball effect grow! Here is how it works.

Once you’ve created your account, you can interact with other users and nonprofits via Your Story. From there you can share new Snoballs you’ve created, let your friends know about new charities you’ve discovered, and share stories and anything else that crosses your mind.

My son is already planning his football season, with each touchdown he scores he will create a Snoball for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Now that is a snoball fight that I welcome, any day!

Generation On

I am involved with a number of non-profits but the ones that inspire me the most are the organizations that plant the seeds of compassion in our children. Generation On is just that.

October 16th-22nd is Make Your Mark Week at Generation On. They are asking our kids to visit their website, pick a cause (Animals, Homeless, Hunger, Literacy) and make a difference. The site gives children simple ways to impact others.

Maybe your children want to Make their Mark this weekend, it’s never too late to help someone.

Network for Good

There is just goodness everywhere and it seems that our cultural pendulum is beginning to swing in really positive directions. The simple act of helping another has been around since the beginning of time but technology keeps coming up with innovative ways to help us, help others.

That’s exactly what Network for Good has done. They have brought together both places to volunteer and places to donate to over 1 million charities creating an amazing Network for Good.

This is just Good!
