Amicus Wants To Socialize Nonprofit Fundraising And Outreach, Raises $580K Itself | TechCrunch: You can see Amicus’ founders demonstrate the product in the video below, but the basic idea is that fundraising phone calls and emails are a lot more effective when they come from someone you know. If you’ve ever been contacted by some random person asking you to donate to a good cause, you can probably relate. Doubly so if you’ve been the random person.

Other companies like Causes and Fundly have been built around similar ideas, but they’re mostly limited to Facebook, while Amicus supports more old-school forms of communication.
