Public Good

Description

This plugin lets approved Public Good media partners embed Public Good Action Units in content that enables readers to take action (donate, volunteer, call their representatives, learn more, etc.) on the causes relevant to the articles they appear in. These units can be revenue generating (sponsored by major brands and nonprofits) and/or unsponsored units designed to increase site engagement and of course drive positive social action.
