How To Use the Internet for Group Fundraising

One of the areas I want to explore in a screencast related to widgets are those that help groups of individuals do fundraising via a blog.   I found an excellent site that compares the widgets/services and includes some good questions.   It's called First-of-its-kind by Peter Deitz.  It is described as a website that promotes small-scale giving and research on micro-philthanthropy.

In the last four years, the number of websites that help individuals design and implement their own group fundraising campaigns has exploded. Networks of friends, family, and activists can now raise money effecitvely and collectively for any number of causes. But with all the options available, sometimes it is difficult to know which platform to choose and how best to put it to use.

It has a feature comparision of different services as well as 5 questions to ask yours before starting a fundraising campaign and 3 factors to consider when choosing a group fundraising platform.   The also includes some fundraising success stories and other great resources.
