Announcing “100% For the Holidays”!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

SEATTLE – American charities have weathered a significant drop in giving this year, and while they’re hoping for a holiday miracle, a recent survey shows they will probably see a decrease in year-end generosity. In light of the economic downturn, only 38 percent of Americans say they are more likely to give a charitable gift as a holiday present this year, compared to 49 percent last year, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive to be released Monday. Some of the biggest U.S. charities say they are budgeting for a disappointing Christmas.—The Associated Press, November 16, 2009

Many nonprofits are feeling the pinch from today’s challenging economic climate.  As the excerpt above from the Associated Press poll shows, the tough times are impacting charities’ fundraising efforts and their supporters’ donation levels, even during the traditional year-end season of giving.

However, there is some good news to report: In response to the fundraising challenges faced by nonprofits and schools, during the month of December, GlobalMojo will donate 100% of the revenue generated by our users to their chosen causes!

During the “100% For the Holidays” campaign, starting on cyber Monday, November 30th through December 31, 2009, GlobalMojo will donate 100% of the revenue generated by our users to their chosen causes. After December 31, 2009, 50% of generated revenue will go to users’ chosen causes.

Nonprofits aren’t the only ones feeling the pinch. Consumers are also looking for ways to be generous without spending more than they’ve budgeted for the holidays. Fortunately GlobalMojo offers powerful tools for your holiday shopping, that will help you quickly find exactly what you need (at the best prices) and raise more money for your favorite nonprofit:

We invite you to visit www.globalmojo.com to learn more about the GlobalMojo browser, and how we’re helping nonprofits and their supporters browse with purpose.

Spread The Mojo!

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Here at GlobalMojo we believe that working to make small changes in everyday life can have a collectively huge impact in changing the world around you. Even one person’s efforts can effect a powerful change, and the results multiply exponentially as more people get involved. When we talk about ways to “Spread The Mojo,” we’re talking about using your social network and community to multiply the effect of your efforts and have a greater positive impact on the world.

We want you to join the GlobalMojo community with big dreams – ending homelessness, curing diseases, and protecting the planet—but since no one person can do that on their own, we’ve come up with some easy ways for you to spread the Mojo in your daily life.

Three Easy Ways to Spread the Mojo

1.  Take action to improve your own corner of the world.
Do you have fond memories of spending time at the local YMCA? Was there a teacher who changed your life? Did your favorite pet come from a pet shelter? In short, what organizations have made your life better in some way?

Now that you have identified some worthy causes, go to www.globalmojo.com and click on Search All Causes.  Enter keywords and your city to search over 1.5 million organizations to find those working for your cause, on a local, national or global scale.

The good news is you don’t have to choose just one issue.  You can support up to four charities at once, and decide how much of the revenue you generate they receive.

It’s that easy.  With just a few clicks, you are supporting your community and the causes you care about just by doing what you do every day.  It might not seem like much at first, but when you join a movement of socially conscious users committed to spreading the Mojo, all of those small choices have a major impact.

2.  Ask your social network to support the causes you care about — AND the causes they care about too.
Another great way to spread the Mojo is to get your family, friends, and colleagues involved. If one person can make a positive change; imagine the impact you can make if you get 10, 20 or 50 other people to support your favorite causes using GlobalMojo!

www.globalmojo.com offers two easy ways to spread The Mojo:

Ask a friend to download the browser & support the causes they care about.
Do you have a friend who is active on a local PTA, or a relative who volunteers for a local food bank?  Tell them about GlobalMojo using our email invitations, or by posting GlobalMojo on your social media profiles like Facebook and Twitter. Click here to visit our Tell a friend page.

Ask your friends and family to support the cause you care about.
Go to your “My Causes” page to review the organizations and schools that you currently support. Click Invite Friends, and our simple invitation tools make it easy to invite others to support your specific cause via email or social media.

3.  Spread the Mojo online & join our Social Networks!
A simple way to spread the Mojo is to use social media. You can become a GlobalMojo fan on Facebook, and follow GlobalMojo on Twitter, and then spread the word by inviting your friends to become a fan  as well.

Featured Cause: Stand Up Against Poverty!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Stand Up Against Poverty
For the fourth consecutive year, millions of people around the world will “Stand Up and Take Action” to demand that world leaders end poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

In September 2000, 189 world leaders adopted the MDGs as part of the Millennium Declaration at the United Nations Millennium Summit. The MDGs offer us a roadmap to end poverty and its root causes.

The MDG’s set an unprecedented global framework for development that is a crucial step towards ending poverty and inequality by 2015.

The eight MDG goals include:

Last year, a record-breaking 116 million people stood up and took action to end poverty and help achieve these Goals. This movement has set a new Guinness World Record for the largest mobilization around a single cause in recorded history.

However, this is a time of extraordinary challenge. The global financial crisis is having a devastating impact on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, and the climate crisis threatens to undo the gains that have been made towards achieving the MDGs. With only six years left to the 2015 deadline, no region is on track to achieve their goals.

We must make fulfilling the MDGs an urgent priority, and ‘Stand Up, Take Action’ is a vital opportunity to send a clear directive to world leaders to deliver on the promise they made to the world’s people to usher in a new era of equality, health, and prosperity.
