New York, NY, Oct. 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Dave Kerpen, CEO of Likeable Local announced the launch of Likeable Nonprofits, the first comprehensive social media solution for nonprofits in conjunction with Grassroots.org.
Likeable Nonprofits is a software suite that makes social media easy and effective for nonprofits. The software incorporates four components: a vertical specific content publisher, Turbopost ™ social ad technology, mobile friendly websites, and offline marketing kits. Along with full analytics, Likeable gives nonprofits the tools they need to take control of their social media presence across Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and generate awareness, volunteers, and donations.
This partnership follows the successful completion of a $1.5M seed round and launch of Likeable Dentists, Likeable Jewelers, and Likeable Dry Cleaners in 2013.
"Nonprofits have a unique opportunity to grow and scale their donations through social media," says Kerpen. "Our software makes it easy and effective to do so. I'm thrilled about our partnership with Grassroots.org."
Grassroots.org works with small and mid-sized nonprofits nationwide that often have a tough time allocating resources or committing their time to social media.
