They're here! Our 11th and 12th local Do Good channels are up and running and our partner sites were just updated with the connect2cause widgets - we welcome The Des Moines Register (Do Good Des Moines) and The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Do Good Rochester).
These are the first two Gannett markets to launch and there are seven more that should be going live shortly. And then? Then we hope for a whole lot more but that's in the future. Right now we're just thrilled to have these two up and running. Kudos to the team at Gannett and to our guys - Ray, Allison, Amy, & Jong - for getting us launched. Great stuff all.
Take a look at the home pages (Des Moines here) and (Rochester here) - see the red boxes below? That shows you the location of the state-of-the-art connect2cause V2 widgets that our friends at Gannett have deployed.
Right now we have the American Red Cross (food & nutrition services), ABC Basset Hound Rescue (looking for auction donations), and the American Red Cross again (job posting) featured in Rochester. And in Des Moines it's the Des Moines Arts Festival (programs & volunteering), Children & Families of Iowa (in kind donations), and YMCA of Greater Des Moines (volunteers) that are featured in the connect2cause widget.
With our new connect2cause widgets we can update and feature new organizations, events, volunteering opportunities, in kind donation needs, and more, quickly and easily. We can help leverage the power of our local media partners to make people aware of nonprofit needs - to getting more people involved and doing good. It's an amazing thing to be part of.
More markets doing good. We love it. Our aim? A local Do Good channel in every city and town across America. But for now, we'll just be happy about launching Des Moines and Rochester.
