PHILANTHROPY NEWS DIGEST
Only six months old, the Hunger Site was a success from the start — attracting nearly 34 million visitors with its promise of a one-pound food donation for every click of a button on its home page. But the site, which was supported by corporate donors through the United Nations’ World Food Programme, became increasingly difficult to maintain. Executives of the merged entity hope that the consolidation of the two sites will allow the Hunger Site to continue it's work while helping to distinguish GreaterGood.com from the many other cause-related e-commerce sites that are vying for donors' time and money.
