Aussies cash in on good causes
Australian James Windon is one of the top executives at social giving site Causes.com, which has raised $US40 million for over 500,000 causes in the last four years - and he says he's just getting started.
The former Sydneysider believes technology will be the most significant force for social change this century, and he's one of several Australian tech entrepreneurs around the world who are getting rich while solving global social and environmental problems.
Last month this website reported on Australian apps to help people with eating disorders and smoking addictions, but this was just the tip of the iceberg. Windon, along with another Australian, Luke Miller of Offset Options in Spain, are making some of the biggest waves in for-profit philanthropy.
