ActofGood.org combines social networking with charities in Chicago

"Do Good. Be Great." - Act of Good

You've heard of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and a myriad of other social networking sites. Have you heard of the site that will get you buzzing about good causes?

ActofGood.org was started to connect people based on their social causes and "promote local philanthropic initiatives", according to Daily Candy, which covered the opening of this company on April 27th.

While this company is only one week old, the number of charities that have signed up to become part of this movement has doubled. Daniella Schwartz, Vice President of Marketing & Charity Relations for ActofGood.org, states that, “We are working hand in hand with charities to ensure that their Cause page best serves their needs and portrays, at a glance, their mission and focus.”

Some of the featured charities on ActofGood.org include the American Lung Association in Greater Chicago, Bottomless Closet (an organization that provides professional clothing to working women), Special Olympics Illinois and Working In The Schools - WITS (an organization that promotes literacy and the love of reading among Chicago's youth).

You can sign up to become a member of the site to add charities that you are passionate about, learn about upcoming charitable events and donate to the causes of your choice. Best of all, all causes listed on ActofGood.org are researched extensively to ensure validity. The site is easy to navigate and is very user-friendly, so log on and find out how you can become involved with your favorite charitable causes!
