SocialABC (http://www.socialabc.com ) now offers a non-profit version of their popular social networking platform. Non-profits can quickly set up a branded interactive web site. NetworX Non-Profits is free to download and easy to set up.

NetworX Non-Profits is based on open source and is based on PHP code. We offer support for tracking members and other constituents, online donations, email newsletters, and event registration. SocialABC hopes their software can be one tool that can be set up quickly and help in situations like the earthquake that just hit Haiti.

“You could start your own social network for people suffering from the horrible earthquake in Haiti. You could start raising funds today and be part of the response. Your efforts could have a real impact,” said Rafael Soultanov, director of Project Management at Solve IT Labs (which provides further customization and consulting services for the platform).

A social networking community site can support efforts in Haiti in several ways.
