Give and Let Live

ActofGood.com

Your idea of a news feed is learning about your high school valedictorian’s sunburn. (Thanks, Facebook!)

Jaded? Maybe.

Use your networking powers for good through ActofGood.org, a Chicago-based website launching today. Designed to connect people based on their causes and promote local philanthropic initiatives, ActofGood is organized, user-friendly, and — in our unbiased opinion — going to change the way people give.

You can’t poke, peek, flirt, or join groups like Children Against Haikus. But you can post events pertaining to your cause, donate, volunteer, and communicate with like-minded individuals.

You get a profile, three calendars (regional, cause-related, personal), and you can join as many causes as you like (Bright Pink, Imerman Angels, Rock for Kids).

Every cause on ActofGood is researched extensively to ensure its validity.

Talk about a site for sore eyes.
