Karmaback helps Non-Profits Fundraise

Read how Karmaback is helping non-profits use Social Networks to actually get MORE donations... even from people who have never donated before:

http://www.tricitiesbusinessnews.com/2011/02/more-nonprofits-use-social-networks-to-fundraise/

"points are converted into monetary donations for the three participating charities: Bob Woodruff Foundation, Learn To Be and Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society.
The Bob Woodruff Foundation provides support to military service members and veterans, especially those who suffer traumatic brain injury and combat stress. The Learn To Be Foundation provides online educational tutoring for underprivileged children in math, science and language arts. Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society helps rehabilitate wounded and mistreated horses throughout Texas and Arkansas and places them into safe, permanent homes.
The name Karmaback came from the idea that helping to spread the word about a company should in turn reward the consumer.
“If you as a consumer are helping a company to get their word out, you ought to get something back for that—karma back,” Beverly said. “Now you just earned this karma. Why not share it with the charities?”"

Karmaback points for Charity

As non-profit organizations continue to look to social media as a viable means to drive charitable giving, the Bob Woodruff Foundation, the Learn To Be Foundation and the Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society have joined forces with Karmaback, Inc. to turn social network engagement into cash donations via Karmaback points, which are easily earned by interacting with partner brands on Facebook and Twitter. Through this new program, companies that use Karmaback for social network marketing, including sweepstakes, coupons, and customer engagement, get the added benefit of giving their Facebook fans and Twitter followers a way to donate their earned Karmaback points to a participating charity.
