Donate Now Button Added To Facebook’s Non-Profit Pages
Facebook recently added a “Donate Now” call-to-action button for non-profit pages. Hooray! Break out the bubbly. It’s an all-night non-profit party and we’re not stopping ’til the sun comes up!

Think 353.8 billion sounds like a lot of money? That’s because it is. With a country of 318 million, that’s an average of $1110 per person. And I’d be willing to wager at least $1110 that babies are pulling that number down.
