Technology advice and help for innovative nonprofit organization

Save to Favorites

We are a small nonprofit organization in the midst of doing some great things. Most of our work is done by volunteers. We're seeking 1-2 volunteers who can do one or more of the following. If you're able to do one of the things, but not the others, that's fine:

* Help us evaluate technology-related decisions
* Research apps, content management systems and/or web development platforms
* Assess potential web developers to help us select the best one when we need to hire one; and evaluate their work in their first months.
* Other ways of helping out depending on what you're good at doing

When volunteering, if there are topics that requrie particular knoweldge and you don't have it, you could just let us know.

Our volunteers are located around the country and work virtually via the Internet.

If you want to get a sense of what we're doing, here are some of our websites that are live, in beta or in initial development. They fall into three broad groups:

1) a group of innovative websites to provide other nonprofits (and their supporters) with unique tools they can use to raise money for their causes. This link below gives an overview: click the "See More" buttons at the end of the sections. In the future, each logo will go to a unique website focused on that fundraising tool. About half of the logos are already linked to sites that are either done or in progress:

A few examples are:

https://volunteerathon.org
http://giveitup.net/
http://loseathon.org/

This is a sample of how a person's fundraising page looks - the format is the same at most sites, but each has a unique logo, activity and color scheme:

We've ported the entire IRS database of 1 million nonprofits to our website, so all 1 million nonprofits will automatically have pages at all of the fundraising websites. E.g. -

We're also creating these tools to give people fundraising opportunities every season and holiday of the year: http://calendarforgood.org/


2) new projects to fight global poverty, slavery and climate change. You can see the logos of many of them at these links. In the future clicking on each logo will go to a unique website:

http://fortheearth.org/

There are other climate change websites we're creating and the best ones are not up there yet.

http://fortheslaves.org/

One of the anti-slavery websites is a modern-day equivalent of the Underground Railroad. You can see the video we made for it and a draft of the website here - when we launch, it will be at .org -

http://virtualrailroad.info

3) an existing website that provides news related to making the world a better place covering various topics including nonprofits, human rights, extreme poverty, climate change, giving and volunteering: http://DailySource.org. This site has existed for over 14 years. You can see a few of the team members here: http://DailySource.org/about/team.
