Ever heard of Ammado?

Newly introduced to us is Dublin based internet company, Ammado, which claims to have created what it calls, 'microphilanthropy', allowing internet users to have their own profile page on their site through which they pick and choose charities and/or causes they wish to support financially, - on a once off basis or regularly - in any country and currency.

The company was set up in 2005 by social entrepreneurs, Peter Conlon and Anna Kupka and now employs 70 people in offices around the world.  Essentially a social network which facilitates giving, the website has allowed the Down Syndrome Centre to create its own profile alongside another 2,499 charities who are its members.

In addition, many companies are using it as a corporate social responsibility tool in that rather than making a fixed donation to a chosen charity, the company gives each of its employees a small amount of money to donate to the charity of their choice which of course can be administered by Ammado.

It's clever and we like it and we'd like your support for it even more! So take a look at www.ammado.com . Consider creating a profile for yourself and, if you'd like to make a donation to the Down Syndrome Centre, we'd be delighted and very grateful for your support.
