Prospecting: Fidelity Links Giving to Holiday E-Cards

For each musical e-card that visitors send from the Fidelity FutureStage Web site through December 31, the financial-services company will donate $1 toward the purchase of new instruments for school music programs in need, notes The Chronicle’s Prospecting column.

Plus: PayPal is counting on virtual fruitcakes to raise money this holiday season for 24 charities, including Architecture for Humanity, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Share Our Strength, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
