MAKE YOURS SOCIAL

Nonprofits are fans of our approach to in-kind donations. Here's how we're different.

TRADITIONAL MODEL

The Giving Effect

THE GIVING EFFECT MODEL

The Giving Effect

Sara learns the YWCA needs her coat in the most natural way for her, online

The Giving Effect

The YWCA tells Sara how her coat improved a life using an easily sharable webpage

The Giving Effect

Sara shares her story on Facebook and Twitter and by email, distributing the YWCA's message to a wider audience

PEOPLE love STORIES

You can use stories to influence people and effect change. We can help.

1

Every donation gets it's own webpage which can be easily shared by you, the donor and your supporters

Here's a nifty trick

The more stories like this you create, the more people will find your cause in google. The stories can be found by anyone researching the donor, your cause, or the types of items you are seeking.

2

Write compelling stories about how each donation improved a life

3

Each donation story becomes an opportunity for new donors to learn about you
