Do you need a nonprofit makeover?
Social Citizens (Beta), a Web site created by the Case Foundation, is offering a “social-citizen makeover,” in which five winners will receive a video camera, a $100 gift certificate for Apple products, and advice from a social-media expert.
To enter the contest, participants must answer eight multiple choice questions to determine if they are indeed social activists. The first question asks:

- Ask my friends what they know about it.
- Check out the organization’s Web site.
- Google it.
- Don’t bother researching it. They all do good, right?
After answering the quiz, participants must write a short essay on how they will use the potential prizes to further good causes.
