Blastoff Ventures wants to build "the largest community of caring people on the planet" and it's doing this through YourCause.com. YourCause.com allows users to quickly establish an organized web presence, promoting their cause (whatever that cause may be), and raise funds for their charity - any IRS qualified and registered 501(c)3.

So far, YourCause.com has raised more than $20,000 for over 550 initial members, and the program was only launched in April of this year! The focus of this site is to connect a user's cause with donors and appropriate charities.

For those who become a user of the site, they will get a customized web presence, marketing and PR tools, blogging capabilities, objective tracking eligibility for daily donations, promotion and exposure to the YourCause.com community, reliable fundraising capabilities, photo uploads, full eCommerce functionality, and event calendars.

Matthew Combs, co-founder for YourCause.com says, "Now everyone from college students to soccer moms can be successful in harnessing the power of the Internet to promote their individual cause within the YourCause.com community and amongst family, friends and co-workers."

YourCause.com has three primary audiences - the cause advocates, donors, and non-profit organizations. Members can connect and fundraise for a charity, educate visitors about their cause, and generate awareness for causes closest to their hearts.

There are over 1.4 million US-based, approved charitable organizations, in categories such as animals, disease, health, environment, civil rights, etc., that are already a part of YourCause.com.

Some specific organizations parterning with YourCause.com include non-profit Network for Good - a leader in handling secure online donations, Glam Media - the largest network for female Internet users, Zazzle - a leader in customized online apparel, and Arial Software - a leader in campaign e-mail solutions.
