Facebook 'Causes' Launches New App to Help Fundraising

These days, it is almost impossible for a nonprofit (or any company, for that matter) to get away without a Facebook page.  The social networking site is not only an invaluable resource to update followers on the latest news, but it can also be a good fundraising tool as well.  And with the latest application from Facebook Causes, that just got a little easier for nonprofits.

Causes, an online advocacy/fundraising application in Facebook, recently launched a new update called "Give a Minute."  What is it, exactly?  Well according to a post on their official blog, it is a simple application a nonprofit can add to their Facebook page that allows users to complete short (around 30 seconds) activities that, when completed, will give a charitable donation to the organization.  This donation is usually in the range between 10 and 50 cents, but these can most certainly add up the more people complete them.
