The Networking For Charity Service

Networking For Charity is an online service that helps its members reach and build goodwill with influential people, using a donation to their favorite charity as an incentive to meet. Networking For Charity members can also raise money for their favorite charity by meeting people who want to meet them in-person or by telephone. We leverage social networking to help raise money for charities, at no cost to them. We do not take donations ourselves or on the behalf of any charity. Our members act as volunteers for their favorite charities. Our service is free to join, with only a small administrative fee to send meeting requests to people you want to meet.
