Dear Causes community,
Thank you for an incredible year on Causes.com. I am proud to say that you have taken our site to new heights this year and made it a place where anyone can go to change the world. It has been a privilege to see you turn your passion into action. Some of you have become organizers, creating positive change in your own communities by bringing together supporters to take action. Others have shown your commitment to the cause by sharing campaigns with hundreds of your friends. Together, we've accomplished amazing things:
Here's a look at what you've done on Causes this year:
 | A GROWING COMMUNITY
Causes now has over 186 million members in 182 countries around the world. |
 | AN ACTION-TAKING PLATFORM
Our members took over 60 million actions this year, including 37 million petition signatures. |
 | A VOICE FOR ACTIVISM
People created 163,174 causes to fight for the things they believe in. |
 | SUPPORT FOR NON-PROFITS
Causes users gave over $5 million to a wide range of non-profits. |
Within these numbers are the powerful stories of people like Lauren Forman who rallied a community on Causes to help her devastated town after Hurricane Sandy; Paul Paz y Miño's fight to help indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon; Susan Louis and her inspiration to launch a petition to help veterans find solace in her community; Roger Doiron's determination to stand up for gardeners worldwide; and David Paine's heartfelt letter to a grieving town.
Thank you for supporting our vision, organizing with our tools, and joining our community. We're excited to see what 2013 brings!
Sincerely,
Matt Mahan
CEO of Causes.com
