Giving Power to the People for Charity

Squidoo has THREE exciting announcements today about charities and Squidoo:

1. We’ve revamped our new charity sign-up process, so if you’re in charge of a non-profit and you think Squidoo is your place to promote that, you can apply to be a sponsored organization. Just follow the directions here and submit.

2. Charities are making more online than ever by connecting with lensmasters and promoting a very genuine process for making lenses and donating to their cause. In September, a few of our charities earned in the hundreds (as in multiple, plural) of dollars.

- Save the Children
- Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation
- Room to Read
- Action Against Hunger
- Humane Society of the United States

Just one high ranked lens can send $10 a month to the charity of your choice. Imagine what would happen if everyone donated just one lens to charity!

3. The Giants thought we were doing such a great job with our volunteer work that we should be on the list at Mashable. So if you too think we’re doing a great job, why not stop by and cast your vote? (Look for us under Nonprofit Causes and Mainstream Social Networks.)

Quick! What's Squidoo?

Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest – and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or yourself!
