Contest to Help Nonprofits Spread Messages, Win Reward

3banana, provider of mobile information capture solutions, recently launched "Share to Win," a contest that gives nonprofits a way to reach out to supporters and share their missions for a chance to win one of five prizes totaling $10,000 in donations.

Any 501(c)3 health-, environment- or education-focused nonprofit organization can enter the contest by following these three steps:

1. Create a free Notebook on 3banana.
2. Compose a 3banana Note that answers the question: “Why should people pay attention to our cause?” Include the Cause’s legal name and Web site. Your 3banana Note will be assigned a unique private Web address.
3. Share your 3banana Note on Twitter with the hashtag #sharetowin and then share your cause’s note on Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, etc.

Organizations also can download a badge from 3banana that they can add to their Web sites or blogs linking to their 3banana Notes.

The five nonprofit causes that collect the most comments on their notes from unique users through Sept. 27 at midnight will win one of these prizes: $5,000 for the grand prize, $2,000 for the runner up and three honorable mentions of $1,000 each. The honorable mentions will include one cause from each category: health, education and environment.
