I was recently chatting with a colleague about “Worldly Nonprofit,” and she suggested I intersperse my posts with creative/new/different ways to donate. Good idea…
…Following her excellent advice, I took a slight risk and enabled Social Vibe on sidebar of this blog. Social Vibe partners with select charities and corporate sponsors to make microdonations for blog visitors.
To donate, the reader needs to click the Social Vibe widget, then watch and rate a video short. However, the risks lie in potentially annoying readers and appearing to favor one particular nonprofit organization on a blog that somewhat evaluates nonprofit organizations.
Weighing the options, I opted to try Social Vibe and support Vitamin Angels. Based in Santa Barbara, Vitamin Angels mobilizes resources in the private sector to provide vitamin nutrients to children in developing nations. Of the Social Vibe partnering nonprofits, Vitamin Angels was the most easily researched.
Utilizing 99% of funds on program expenses, Charity Angels is also pursuing sustainable methods of vitamin distribution, key in my eyes.
So, we’ll give Social Vibe a try. Check out Vitamin Angels, and click on the widget to donate, if you’d like.
What do you think of Social Vibe? Have you had successes or failures with this fundraiser?

Thank you!
How has social Vibe been working for you? People seem to ignore it on my blog, and I’ve noticed similiar responses from other users. How do you encourage Social Vibe traffic?
