Oxfam trials tap-to-donate technology: "Oxfam GB is running a trial of near-field communication technology to allow supporters to both donate to the charity and find out more information about what it does through interactive posters and wristbands.
The trial, which has been split into two parts, aims to make use of near-field communication (NFC) technology and is a way to make it “easier for people to engage with Oxfam, see more content or find out more about its work”."

Cisco Employee Changes Lives Through Technology Donations | 3BL Media: "In 2013, Roland Holloway learned he was cancer-free. For 9 years, Roland, a Cisco employee, had battled neck cancer, but a surprising recovery inspired him to give back to his community. With the help of Cisco’s Employee Purchase Donation Program (EPDP), Roland is empowering a local nonprofit with new technologies and helping others in need.
Roland, who will celebrate his 20th anniversary at Cisco later this year, is taking advantage of his newfound health to create change in his own neighborhood. “I’ve had a lot of good fortune come my way,” he said. “I enjoy giving back; I can’t change world politics, but I can definitely help my local community.”"

Better Than 'Survivor': Wild Drama Hooks Viewers On Nest Web Cams : NPR
Better Than 'Survivor': Wild Drama Hooks Viewers On Nest Web Cams : NPR: "It's a good combination ... using technology to see what's going on that you might not be able to see at the ground level, but also raising issues around open space and wildlife preservation," Brockman says.

Anderson says regular viewers gain a sense of ownership of the birds."
