Charity uses widgets to provide accountability to donors

Charity uses widgets to provide accountability to donors: "October 11, 2007 (Computerworld) -- A children's charity is using widget technology -- traditionally used with a single purpose application like updating weather or news on a Web site -- to help it show donors how their money is being used. Operation Kids, which accepts directed and unrestricted donations from individuals and businesses, was formed in 1999 to assemble a worldwide stable of charities that deal with the most pressing needs of children. The agency reviews the finances, programs and operations of potential charities and gives a seal of approval to those that meet its criteria."
