Abstract: A method of facilitating fundraising uses a computer network. The method outputs from a computer server, data identifying projects for which a user can make a donation. The data is presented using a map-based graphical user interface with a project identified on a map of a geographical area. At the server, a user selection of at least one of the projects is received via the map-based graphical user interface. Projects of a plurality of organizations can be represented on the same map-based graphical user interface. Progress information is collected at the server and reported to donors. Donations and progress information can be output to social networking or micro-blogging sites.
