Click to Donate Upgrade!
Aug 31, 2009

click to donateWe are happy to announce our new & improved free Click To Donate pages! Many of you have been clicking regularly for years, and on behalf of our nonprofit partners, we say “thank you!” for your compassion and commitment. 

We’re excited about the new pages, and hope you will be too.

A few highlights:
  • Faster page loads (yeah!)
  • Better navigation that highlights pages you’ve completed (yeah!)
  • A framework that will allow us to do more frequent updates (we'll keep you up to date as to how your donations are making an impact).
  • A fresh look and feel.
  • A Top Clickers page to honor all of you fantastic clickers.
  • A new Click To Donate to help wolves.
  • Susan G. Komen fund is our new Click for a Cure partner!

If you’re not familiar with our Click To Donate model, it’s simple: you click a button, and we make donations to support important causes.  How is that possible? That's simple too: Care2 finds advertisers to sponsor these pages, so you pay nothing. The advertisers want (passionate, caring) folks to see their ads, so they're willing to pay for your time.  Care2 members tend to support those advertisers through purchases down the line, which helps keep the model going.

The total amount donated depends on the number of individuals that are dedicated to making a difference by donating their few seconds to visit these pages each day.  The Click To Donate pages are a small but important part of how we make a difference at Care2 - helping Care2 donate in excess of $400,000 to nonprofits.    We've partnered with nonprofits who help turn these donations into maximum impact (and then track your impact for you to see).

I’d like to give my thanks to the Care2 employees who worked hard on these updates (Alex, Marya, Janna, Rebecca, Sabrina, Sudha, Martin, Chris and Bill in particular!)  and to the members who’ve been avid clickers all these years.  Thank you, and keep on clicking!

The new look is great and love being able to tweet. Do miss my levels,ie. jaguar at cats. But keep up the wonderful work you do for all.

I love the new look, and the navigation bar is very helpful, i used to check twice a day if i clicked or not, but now it's easier coz it shows that i've already clicked

I like the changes you've made. Thanks!

I just wondered why you switched to Susan G. Komen from the Breast Cancer Fund...

Randy Paynter (470) 		Wednesday September 9, 2009, 9:32 am
Marie - we help lots of nonprofits in many ways, and can't highlight all of them all the time though the click to donates, so we're giving Komen the opportunity now. We still think BCF is a great organization doing important work, and look forward to continuing to support them through other campaigns. We hope Care2 members will continue to support both organizations and their shared mission to fight breast cancer!

The new look is fresh and happy. Thank you! I do miss the levels... I realize how much work had to go into these updates. Thank you all very much. : )

Great job - would love to be able to embed a Care2 widget on my website for the 'click-to-donate' campaign...

hi, forgive me..but..if there are 12+ million members here..why aren't there 12+million clicks per day for each cause?

"DUSTY" Debor D. (28) 		Monday November 16, 2009, 12:37 am
I've clicked every day since I've started and I havent seen my picture up ther yet. Not as a first time clicker, Not as a, "we clicked today" and not as a "daily clicker".....don't I matter? Boo Hoo! Smile!

Debbie G. (10) 		Monday November 16, 2009, 7:18 am
This is great!

Cynthia Bowers (0) 		Monday November 16, 2009, 7:58 am
Like others, I appreciate the continuous concern for the quality of the site by staffers--thank you for ALL you do. Also like others, I really miss having the levels--so enjoyed working my way "up" in each cause. Is there any way they can be restored within the new format?
