Add a Charity Badge to Your Blog

Network for Good launched their charity badges with some great support from Yahoo!.

Examples of blogs with charity badges include Katya's Non-Profit Marketing Blog , Democracy In Action's Blog , and Beth's Blog.

You can make a badge for any of the charities registered on Network for Good. It takes five minutes to personalize your badge by uploading personal photos and text, and linking to your own video (optional).

The badge tracks donations in real time so people can see the difference they are making. Then Network for Good processes the donations and transfers the funds directly to the nonprofit.

After creating your badge, you can register your badge on Yahoo!'s Network of Giving campaign and your nonprofit could receive up to $50,000 in matching funds, plus billing on Yahoo!'s web site.

The charity badges are in beta. It works on nearly all blogs and some social networking sites. There is also a simple text version you can put in your email signature.

Try the badges out and share your triumphs and frustrations at the badge blog.
