Spending hours searching to this web site, I have been able to tell what exactly it supposes to be about. Causes are a site that set up through Facebook. From what read about it, it appears to be a charity web site, but have been able to figure out the real purpose of the site. Here is an example, Any Facebook user with a little passion and initiative can create a cause, recruit their friends into that cause, keep everybody in the cause up-to-speed on issues and media related to the cause, and, most importantly, raise money directly through the cause for any U.S. registered nonprofit or Canadian registered charity. After doing a further evaluation of the web site, I find out it is about charity after all. The charity can be for any you can think of that you or someone you want to help that need money but is unable to get it. There are many causes in this web site, for example, some create a cause for Campaign for Cancer Prevention, and another one was for Fighting Global water Crisis. Some of those causes you have a member on Facebook in order to view or join them, and others are easy to read and find out what causes they have been created for.
