All For Good (.org)

While researching previous post I clicked on a small icon at the bottom of the iParticipate page that said "Powered by All For Good." You can add the All For Good widget to your site. According to the AllForGood.org website:

"Inspired by the call of President Obama to engage more Americans in service, a group of individuals from the technology, marketing and public sectors came together to build an open source application that allows you to find and share volunteer activities. All for Good lets you browse activities and find events based on your location or interests. The site is governed by Our Good Works a nonprofit organization that was formed by some of the people who initiated the project and who support the product's growth.

Even better - sign in with your primary social network to connect with friends, and discover and share interesting activities. Doing good is more fun together!

Doing good takes many forms. Some people plant trees (trees are good!). Some people build houses. Some people create technology. There are a large number of individuals and organizations in the social sector already doing great work in this field - too many to name - and we tip our hats to all of them as we take the plunge and join the community (and look forward to collaborating with everyone!).

We are a self-organized crew of software engineers, marketing managers, product developers and designers who have underestimated the cups of coffee and lines of code it would take to create All for Good. But if it helps you do good work, then the lost sleep is all worth it.

Our core team is made up of volunteering enthusiasts from places like Google, Craigslist Foundation, UCLA, YouTube, FanFeedr and Aha! Ink. As a contributor to the All for Good project, Google is hosting the All for Good website and products. Several Google engineers worked on All for Good as a 20-percent project (Google lets engineers spend a day a week on projects that interest them), collaborating with a broader team to build the product."

They also advertise a Cause Cast Widget at CauseCast.org.
