Sure, Facebook’s a profit-driving, user-gaining, Google-bashing powerhouse, but it’s got a softer side, too.

How so, you ask?

It’s showing support for social good by launching a revamped resource center to help non-profits effectively use the site to their benefit, reports Mashable. Aw, shucks, how sweet!

And the site’s loaded with features. For starters, the main newsfeed highlights non-profit news and announcements. There’s also a comprehensive non-profit guide for raising awareness and funds through a social network, a section for quick tips on how to create a Facebook page, a list of relevant Facebook products and tools to establish a presence on the site, and a tab for stories about users’ own personal causes.

Another section showcases successful non-profits. So far, organizations such as (RED), truth, and Water.org have shared their stories with the larger community.

The page itself has more than 400,000 likes, while a post announcing the new and improved center has garnered hundreds of likes.

Facebook is like the gift that keeps on giving. And we thought we were spoiled with Facebook Deals and comment editing.

But truly, the resource center is feel-good stuff – warm fuzzies and all.
