OpenSocial is a set of APIs that handle three different kinds of user data: profiles, social graph (who your friends are) and activities (the stuff of the Facebook news feeds.)

Another point Brian made was that perhaps Facebook and Myspace are not for your organization. So, if you use the right tools through LinkedIn, you can get that much closer to a donation–so I’d say that is a better path. In other words, to formalize that relationship is a great idea.
