New site announced at Clinton Global Initiative -- www.mycommitment.org

The Clinton Foundation launched www.mycommitment.org today at the Clinton Global Initiative. The site encourages individuals to make a commitment to make a difference in the world. Keeping with Clinton's push to hold philanthropists accountable for their commitments, the site asks you to:

1. Select the area of need (education, energy/climate change, alleviating poverty, and others)
2. List the action you'll take (give time, money, things, skills, etc...)
3. Set a date when you'll complete your commitment
4. Describe your overall commitment motivation and activities

Visitors can search the commitments made by others and get a few recommendations on how to make a commitment, including 50 Ways to Change the World.

Overall, it's a nice model for organizations to use who are interested in cultivating their constituents and encouraging them to make a commitment and follow through, whether it be for donating, volunteering, advocacy, or other support methods.
