The Cautious Patient Foundation is dedicated to minimizing the amount of people that die per year from medical error. Here, an organization that shares CPF's values can apply and recieve grants that help patients and healthcare providers to communicate better by using technology.

This is an example of just how easy it is to keep a client base or target population informed of what your organization is doing. When a news story about Friends of Transit aired on the local Fox station, they simply had to go the Fox website, embed the link to the video onto their own website, and now the actual video is available for viewing on the campaign's website.
