First, I wish that Causes would allow for non-profits from European countries too.

Second, why doesn’t the Causes Toolbar works worldwide? That, I believe, would allow to raise more money through shopping, and by promoting Causes to everyone that sees one’s browser.

In my case, I can’t install the toolbar on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; pt-PT; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

The Birthday Wish service is a very effective fundraising tool. However, few people know about it and even for people who do know about it, it is hard to find the link to the tool. The Birthday Wish service is not featured anywhere on the Causes site where users would see it. I only found out about it because someone posted a link to it. Every time I want to find the link, I have to go outside of Causes and FaceBook to Google search for it and get the link from an old blog post on this blog. One third of donations on Causes in the last six months came from the Birthday Wish hidden service. Imagine if it weren’t hidden!

Also, do you plan on expanding beyond the one day per year? How about a Christmas gift service, or a general customizable event gifting service?
