The Giving Carnival is a monthly event that gathers the best blog post on various giving-related topics.  March’s topic addressed "Tips for Successful Fundraising Events" and February asked "What Motivates Giving?"  This month, Peter Deitz of Social Actions, wonders "Is Person-to-Person Fundraising Dead, or Just Getting Started?"  With Facebook’s Causes Application not raising as much money as was originally expected, where does that leave social network fundraising?

In his article, Peter gives specific mention of both Firstgiving and our sister company in the U.K., Justgiving.  With millions of dollars raised through each company, can person-to-person fundraising really be dead?  Or, are we just starting to see the tip of the iceberg?

I’m sure you can guess our position.  What do you think?
