newassignment.net — With social Media tools, including social news sites like Digg, anyone can start a charity. This levels the playing field on raising money for good causes, but it also means that fraudulent charities could be started and operated by a con-man online.

Before any one gets mad over the idea of having Ads on Blogs, all the Blogs in the Socially Given network have Ads for the sole purpose of donating 100% of the Ad Revenue money to charity. We do not benefit from the Ads at all.

An appropriate question becomes, how does a social charity type of site then attract top news writers to publish to the site? A link back to the original authors site so they can make money also. As a friend of mine says, I may give to charity every Sunday, but I do not work for charity.

I personally have set up a non-for-profit enterprise titled Development Revolution upon graduating from University and a subsequent journey to Lesotho (a country with the 3rd highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the world). Social media, Twitter, FB, Digg, Stubleupon has given me much needed publicity to build a successful internationally operating venture.We, at DevRev simply just give 100% of the profits away to a selection of different charities. We are revolutionary.<a class="user" href="http://tinyurl.com/DevRev09" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/DevRev09</a>

My company and our team have recently embarked on a new social responsibility platform tied to the culture and ideals of our company. For years we have got behind many worthy causes but found that we provided a lot of work that was under utilized due to the politics and many times disorganization of many charities. After we spun our wheels for a while we all decided that the best way for our company to give back would be to host our own events using all of the Business, Web, & Marketing strategies we had at our disposal as an organization. We choose one theme each quarter and a local charity to support. We then get the charity involved in our cause allowing us to fully utilize our internal processes while not being tied to the charities internal process (or lack thereof). We have found that this is a phenomenal way to raise funds and not become jaded with the charity experience. To date we are on our second charity fund raising event and we have been able to attract some major players to work with us and support the cause as well. It's also a good way for us to become known in our community serving a dual purpose. We can network, raise funds for good a cause, and really make a difference while we grow our business in a meaningful way.
