"So you\u2019ve got a philanthropic spirit, huh? Want to rack up those karmic points, helping to make the world a slightly better place tomorrow than it is today? If so, you be interested in this next site, still in beta. The name is DoGood Channel, and it\u2019s purpose is to connect you with non-profits of all areas and all stripes, either physically or monetarily.\nEstablished in conjunction with Good2Gether Inc, a so-called \u201Csearch and social media Web service\u201D whose intent is to build a database of non-profits through which to direct popular exposure to all such organizations, DoGood Channel allows anyone interested in causes having to do with animal protection and preservation, arts, culture, education, health, politics, and even religion, to discover efforts that they might otherwise never learn about, and interact with such groups. The service is free to both non-profits and the public.\n\nIt launched this week with \u201Cover 500 non-profit profiles,\u201D and touts partnerships with the American Red Cross, YMCA, March of Dimes, Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Boston, and the American Heart Association. It of course strives to eventually connect a great many more organizations large and small with donors and volunteers through its network.\nIn addition to offering DoGood Channel as a bridge between individuals and groups in America with national and regional perspectives, Good2Gether - the egg to DoGood\u2019s chicken, so to speak - is intended to provide ample marketing power for small, niche organizations that may only now receive a trickle of attention. The network options a messaging system to registered non-profits to engage connections made through its database.\nGood2Gether says it will spend the next six months launching its services in cities all across the US. In that time, it will be working to grow its media partnerships in order to garner enough support through revenue-sharing agreements made between non-profits and official sponsors to sustain its network into the future. It will begin launching DoGood Channels on the websites of its media partners later this month, according to Good2Gether founder and CEO Greg McHale."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
