A "Causes" Application for Twitter, free online auction capability

Tickets for raffles held on IDonateToCharity are sold online, so there is no sorting of ticket stubs; youth can sell tickets to anyone, regardless of geographic location; and the site randomly picks the winner and automatically sends a confirmation e-mail to ticket purchasers.

To learn more about the program, visit www.IDonateToCharity.org. Organizations interested in signing up for the program will need to fill out a form online. Once the organization's nonprofit status is verified — which, according to IDonateToCharity, is completed within 24 hours — it receives access to the site and is paired with an account manager who helps it get set up. Each charity gets its own URL that links directly to its storefront.
