Wow, choosing the winner of the Pinterest “Causes I Love Contest” was a lot of fun. But it was a tough decision too. Truth be told, I asked my wife to help.
We loved so many of the boards I decided to hand out three awards. First place gets the $250 DonorsChoose.org gift card. Second place a $100 gift card. Third place a $50 gift card.
First Place
I loved this board by Anne Spires DeLong. The pictures are wonderful and it’s clear that she loves dogs, pets and animal adoption.
Second Place
This is a great board from Jessica Stanford. Jessica’s board especially spoke to my wife with its interesting and cute pictures. We both loved all the causes that are represented on it.
Third Place
I thought Kathy Hernandez had a clever idea for her board. She pinned pictures of people that share her last name of Hernandez that she supports through Kiva. Talk about put a human face to giving. What a great use of Pinterest!
Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who participated.

Thanks for choosing my board on Pinterest! I dabble in social media marketing occasionally to help out friends' businesses and I didn't realize how Pinterest could be use to build audience until I read your blog post. It was a lot of fun creating the board, and amazing to see all the repins.
Also thank your wife ; )
Excellent boards and great idea, Joe! One of the things I noticed when making my Causes I Love boards, is that many of the nonprofit websites didn't have (easily) pin-able photos. Might be something for nonprofit web designers to keep in mind if this takes off.
Excellent boards!
