DALLAS, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Blastoff Ventures, a Dallas based business incubator, officially announced the launch of niche social networking site, YourCause.com, today. YourCause.com seeks to build 'the largest community of caring people of the planet' by providing an assortment of tools and online functionality. The sites allows users to quickly and easily establish an organized web presence to promote their cause and actively raise funds for their preferred charity -- any IRS qualified and registered 501(c)3.
