P.S. There is a special perk for the first 100 nonprofits that create a Directory of Organizations listing. If your nonprofit is 100% volunteer run, you will receive first right of refusal for any any goodies and opportunities CommunityCause.org acquires for an entire year, until December 31st, 2015! That means you get first crack at any donated items, executives available to be a board member, free website help, etc.
It is our “Thank You!” for Beta Testing the features of our new CommunityCause.org website and maybe letting us know what worked/did not work and what was easy and understandable/not easy and not understandable. The CommunityCause.org website is being built by you, with you and for you and our community!
Thanks for caring about your community! Thanks for helping to make the world a better place!
