Chipin.com announced their new white-label initiative with Dell today. Students can now use a ChipIn widget to ask Mom, Dad, relatives and friends to contribute to their new Dell computer. After all, 17 and 18 year olds are like little nonprofits of their own. This is a great deal for ChipIn and shows that business services that help nonprofits can also be repurposed for the private sector too. It also means that concerns about ChipIn’s long-term viability should be assuaged.
Just so you know, ChipIn is past their angel round of financing and are currently in Series A round financing. They are also signing up revenue generating clients and hope that ChipIn will be operationally break-even by end of year.

Hey ChipIn, you’re gettin’ Delled! – Non-Profit Tech Blog…
Chipin has just launched a Dell fundraising widget utilizing their just launched Widget Management System. Look for similar partnerships launching with a large nonprofit online donation system soon. This shows the extensibility of online fundraising …
How is ChipIn different from change.org? Both have some sorts of widget.
Rajiv,
Chipin is a “people powered fundraising” ™ solution that uses widgets to distribute the task of collecting money from a individual’s social network. Our flash fundraising widgets are easily distributed onto many different websites (facebook, myspace, bebo, blogger, typepad, etc). We are not a philanthropy based social network and many of our Chipin users collect money for personal causes, not just nonprofit organizations.
We also released a robust Widget Management Software package that allows organizations to leverage our technology to deploy their own fundraising widgets (see: http://dellunleashed.com).
We are about to launch a series of new services that builds on top of our widget system to extend them beyond just fundraising. You will have to keep an eye on this blog for our announcements in the next week or so.
