LinkedIn for Good
Welcome to LinkedIn For Good!
With a network of over 50 million professionals spanning the globe, LinkedIn is an immensely powerful platform. A few of us here decided that we should be doing more to leverage the network to promote positive social change, and LinkedIn For Good is our first step in that direction.
You can now learn more about outstanding nonprofit organizations and donate directly from the new nonprofit pages on LinkedIn (see a few examples below).
In addition, you can add a badge (like a “digital bumper sticker”) to your profile to show your support and raise awareness for the causes you care about.
When another member of LinkedIn views your profile and clicks on the badge, they’ll be taken to the nonprofit page where they can donate or add the badge to their profile, resulting in a virtuous cycle!
