Facebook users can now do more than simply click ?like? to support charities on the popular social-networking site.
As part of its new Facebook Gifts feature, Facebook users can donate directly to an organization or let their ?friends make the choice? about which organization they should support.
To start, the social network is accepting donations for 11 organizations: the American Red Cross, Blue Star Families, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, DonorsChoose.org, Girls Inc., Kiva, Livestrong, Oxfam America, Rainn, St. Jude Children?s Research Hospital, and Water.org.
The effort is separate from Causes, an application that allows users to donate to charity through Facebook and other social-networking sites. It has 7.8-million users, according to its Facebook app page.
Facebook Gifts is not yet available to all Facebook users, but it is expanding, according to the company.
