It's simple. Brushfire is a free and easy social media application that helps you earn money for your favorite causes. Each time you share a Brushfire post to your network, you show you care—and you help raise awareness and cash for your nonprofits. Your Brushfire post features your cause and the socially responsible brand that supports it. The brand can help when your friends click on the link in the Brushfire post. What better way to get involved? No walk-a-thons. No raffle tickets. Here is all you have to do:

Install the App

Click here to install the Brushfire application, and in a few seconds you have an awesome tool to help the causes you care about. Our app installs like any Facebook application, and you can use your Facebook user name and password to make it even easier. We have a strict privacy policy other than to help earn money for our affiliated nonprofits. Remember, 75% of every advertising dollar we earn goes directly to the nonprofit you select.

Select Your Cause

The first step is to select a campaign or a cause from our current list of nonprofits. If you want to support more than one campaign or cause, just choose a different one the next time you post. We're constantly working hard to add more campaigns nonprofits to the list—to give you more choices, and more ways to help.

Share

Now, all you have to do is POST. The Brushfire application appears on the left-hand side of your Facebook News Feed. Simply click on the application and you'll see a Brushfire page that will show you a brand-cause message. Think of it as an addendum to a status, like posting a link or a photo of your cat, except with every Brushfire post there's real money going to a real cause. Just add your personal message and POST. In only a few seconds, your message goes out to the News Feed and the Brushfire begins to blaze. We’ll also send out emails and notifications about new offers and other ways you can help your favorite causes, but we aren’t another daily deals site. And we won’t be spamming your inbox everyday.

Start a Brushfire

Dozens, even hundreds of your friends may see a single post. The more often you post, the more people will see the brand-cause message. The more of your friends who click on the links, the more money your cause earns. Your friends don’t have to join Brushfire, play silly games or fill out long forms to get great offers—just go to a Facebook page and follow the instructions to, for example, download and print a coupon or get a promotional code and a link.

If your friends join Brushfire, then even more people can participate. We'll show you your impact in real dollars and you'll be amazed at how quickly those dollars add up.

The Power of Social Media

Brushfire works because it combines your passion for the causes you care about with the viral power of social media. Brushfire Brands have made a commitment to causes, to social media, and to you by partnering with nonprofits and supporting them by advertising through Brushfire. The best part? 75% of the advertising revenue goes directly to the cause you choose to help. Isn't it time to make your social media conversation really count?
