A FarmVille That Matters: Charity:Water’s Site Raised $3 Million Last Year
It’s been a year since charity:water launched its site that organizes “give-up-your-birthday” campaigns, where people ask for donations instead of presents and the money goes to build wells in Africa. It’s a win-win: You get less stuff, the world gets clean drinking water.
And that year has been good for the thirsty in the world: Nearly $3 million has been raised over the site, including notable campaigns by angel investor Chris Sacca, Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey, and Alyssa Milano who raised $96,000 on her 37th birthday. (Yeah, it’s another Twitter-happy celebrity. Calm down, Paul Carr, it’s for charity.)
