Use Web2.0 Tools to Raise Money for Your Organization
Before committing resources to particular milestones & objectives for a fundraising campaign that employs groups, events, and applications on Facebook, OpenSocial, and other platforms, test (AB testing) the relative appeal of various assets (themes, messages, actors, stories, text, images, video, wikis, audio, speakers) and tools for your campaign on a representative sample of your target audience/engaged membership.
Some set of elements fit together and perform as a whole better than others. Find out which combinations create the best results.
Once testing is complete, estimate:

Karma Tycoon
Hi guys,
I work at a national non-profit organization called Do Something,
(dosomething.org) and we support kids empowering themselves and their
community by giving them $500 grants after approving their proposals for
the betterment of the community. We have created a game that involves
making the world a better place. Rather than killing people or trying to
make a million dollars, Karma Tycoon lets you run not-for-profit
organizations in 11 cities across the US while achieving the goal of
helping as many people as possible. Since we have just started it recently, I would love to hear your feedback on the game. Check it out for yourself, www.karmatycoon.com

Food Force- the game
A major crisis has developed in the Indian Ocean, on the island of Sheylan. We’re sending in a new team to step up the World Food Programme’s presence there and help feed millions of hungry people.
This is the premise of Food Force, a suprisingly popular game developed by the UN World Food Program. I have often wondered why there weren't more games out there that address socially relevant issues in an engaging way...most of the previous educational games I've tinkered with have been less than captivating, but the World Food Program seems to have gotten it right, with millions of downloads to prove the point that.....if you make it engaging they will play.
