Orlando, FL April 27, 2009—MindComet, Orlando’s leading interactive agency, announced the launch of CommuniCause.com today, a campaign that gives America the opportunity to vote online for their favorite 501c3 non profit to win a $25,000 social media makeover.  The makeover includes MindComet’s expert consulting services to help improve the winning non profit’s social media presence and fundraising outreach. 

Participants are encouraged to visit the CommuniCause.com Website and nominate a charity they feel is most deserving of winning the social media makeover, or fans may vote for a previously-nominated charity.  Upon conclusion of the campaign on July 31st, a winner will be selected at random from the top ten qualified 501c3’s, based on votes, providing the winner up to $25,000 in social media consulting services.  The site structure consists of a voting engine updated daily and social media tools including a CommuniCause Facebook Fan Page, Twitter profile, badges and links to content sharing sites allowing participants to easily receive and distribute campaign information. 

“We’ve always been passionate about contributing our time and services to local organizations. This year in particular, there are so many deserving causes in need of help. We decided to launch CommuniCause to allow America the opportunity to vote and help us determine who could really use a helping hand with their outreach efforts,” stated Marcelle Turner, CEO of MindComet.  “Our hope is that the campaign will bring the participating organizations some national awareness through affiliation with the program, provide their constituents a focused mission to champion, and will ultimately result in a nationwide uplift in charitable giving driven by the power of social media.”

Over the years MindComet has donated their time and services to Habitat for Humanity, the Orlando History Center, the American Cancer Society, Race for a Cure and Toys for Tots.  Last year, MindComet became a founding member of doterati, central Florida’s up-and-coming non profit interactive marketing, media and technology education group with two executives currently holding board positions.
