We have GOT to get out of the office.
Lately it feels like all we do is email, write code and talk on the phone. Knowing we needed a break to stay sane, we started thinking of hobby projects that we could do to keep things fresh. Then it hit us: every single day we meet new people who are doing extraordinary things in the world, and who are looking for help – why don’t we do that for our hobby?
So we are looking for something fun and inspiring that helps people too. We got into this business to make a difference. We knew nonprofits needed software that was easy to use and really powerful, so they could focus on their mission. Since all of us here have the nonprofit dogooder heart we wanted to help you make a difference.
We want you suggest how both Ryan and Chris can each spend 10 hours.
In other words, we want you to help us pick a volunteer opportunity. Does your organization need volunteers? Here we are! We’re raring to do just about anything that makes a difference in the world, like:
- Planning – Strategic, fundraising, or otherwise
- Cleaning or painting your office
- Delivering food
- Telethons
- Whatever it is you do that makes the world better, that you’d like help with
There are some guidelines so we get the right activities.
- We’d rather not do work that involves donor databases or programing.
- It has to help you make the world a better place.
- Your organization should be a charity registered in the USA.
- You can nominate your own organization or you can tell us about a volunteer opportunity at any organization that you know of.
- We can volunteer up to 10 hours each.
- We reserve the right to choose or turn down any volunteer opportunity for any reason.
