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.
