AmeriCares May Use Mobile Games for Fundraising

When an organization like AmeriCares makes a year-end push for donations, it is serious business for the people to whom it extends aid, whether following natural disasters or in communities like its home turf in Stamford, Conn., where it offers health clinics on an ongoing basis.

If Jed Selkowitz, AmeriCares' chief marketing officer, finds the right person for the job, by this time next year AmeriCares may be able to inject its fundraising with an amusing diversion or two.

AmeriCares is seeking to hire a consultant for a three-month gig to help it find ways to raise money through mobile gaming.
