DONATE THROUGH FACEBOOK APPLICATIONS

Donation is something that is required for the social and individual benefits. It is a win-win situation, where a society gets the benefit of providing support to victims of calamities or poor people, while the individual gets the benefit of marketing itself and/or the organization where it works.
Although, the marketing is not the sole purpose of donation, but it is an important aspect considered by many. Some people give donation because they are scared of the fact that what if the same calamity or financial crisis happens to them. This make them work for the betterment of society and even the global betterment. They believe that in the Mother Earth everyone have the right to be treated equally.
It’s the environment or the place where we are living that causes inequality. And environmental changes are something which happens without warning. We might live in Japan, happily enjoying our status as a third largest donor of official development assistance and yet here we are in fighting for life in earthquake of magnitude 9.0. Or we might be a successful business person, yet we faced loss in a project that leads to financial de-stability. So what to say about such happenings?

The step taken on Facebook to develop applications that enable easy donation possible, these Facebook Applications are something that should be highly appreciated. There are a number of them, which have been exclusively developed to facilitate donation. The name few of the innovative Facebook Applications for donation are:

Competition for a Cause
It is basically a Facebook Application exclusively for Twin Cities. But the concept is unique, which can be considered in mind while developing your own application. Here you don’t decide randomly where to donate money, rather there is a competition, where you vote from the team you want to support, so at the end if your team wins, it will decide along with top ten participants, where to give the charity amount.

Good Samaritan
This Facebook Application is a combination of online purchasing and doing charity. Here this Facebook Application user can purchase products at lower price than market and even free services in trial version. Yet the 25% of the proceeds earned from overall user interaction is donated. The online forms are also available for different surveys, where filling of forms by Facebook Application user, lead to donation of specific amount. The transparency of donation to different organization is another feature that is a source of inspiration to many.

GiveStream
It is a Facebook Application which deals in 14 different charities where you can donate your money. A portion of proceeds from there Amazon store can also be donated. Although GiveStream needs a bit of design improvement aside from the enhancement brand awareness. But it can be included in good Facebook Application concepts.

SocialVibe
SocialVibe is a Facebook Application, working on donation through sponsored marketing. Here the Facebook Application users choose a brand of their choice and endorse/share it on their profile. So each time anyone in their social network interacts with the brand, a nominal donation is given to the charity organization of member’s choice. Automatic updates of the charity with the information about the amount collected and the fulfillment of goal extent is shown. They members can also interact with other member supporters.

You can also develop a Facebook Application, that best work for the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activity and make your brand visible to potential customers or enhance your brand image to the existing ones. Facebook application that defines you individual good heart, to inspires others aside from the satisfaction you feel for your own self.
