We are creating country and state-specific reports about the work of nonprofits responding to disasters. These reports will get shared with individual, foundation, and corporate donors to help make sure more funds reach locally active organizations after disasters. Design skills are a plus, but this role is more administrative, compiling the reports using an existing data source.

We have a global volunteer team of developers. Many work at tech companies full-time and volunteer 5-10 hrs per week (or more) on evenings and weekends. It's all remote. Disaster Accountability Project was founded after Hurricane Katrina to improve effectiveness in disaster relief and humanitarian aid. SmartResponse was designed to curate localized "how to help" lists to help donors identify and directly support local nonprofits after disasters in the U.S. and globally. Too often, donations are delayed and diverted before reaching the ground. We are not an intermediary -- we simply serve as a clearinghouse/resource and do not handle donations intended for local nonprofits. In its first few years, over 600 organizations self-registered on the platform from over 60 countries and 30 U.S. states and territories. In addition to a new and improved UI, the new version of the site will be implementing AWS Lambda microservices, Java/Spring/Maven, latest Angular version, and DynamoDM, GraphQL, MYSQL, AWS, and more. Members of the team code review/test each other's work before we merge so this aspect would be shared by team. Role Requirements: Must have a GitHub account and understand how to fork, branch, make pull requests and use command line. Role Duration: Minimum 7 hours/week for at least 4-6 months To Apply, please send Resume/CV to: volunteer@disasteraccountability.org. Thank you!

We are seeking a volunteer to assist with our Google Adwords account and other related optimizations. As a nonprofit, we have $10,000 per month in Google Adwords grants to spend to advance our mission. We are not taking full advantage of this opportunity. Our SmartResponse.org platform curates localized "how to help" lists to help donors make more informed decisions about where to donate when disasters happen. Over 600 organizations from around the world have registered on SmartResponse and each has its own page. We also have pages for each US State and Country. We want Adwords campaigns set up for each of the pages so when people search for "how to help" or "where to donate" after a disaster, they are able to find SmartResponse pages with that information. We use Google Analytics. We want to follow best practices. We're looking for someone with expertise in Google Adwords to assist. Thank you!!

Background: Natural and humanitarian disasters are increasingly prevalent. Donations are delayed, diverted, and do not reach intended beneficiaries. Despite overwhelming response from donors worldwide, billions of dollars do not reach disaster survivors because the international community lacks a way to quickly identify and support locally operating, high-impact organizations in real time during a crisis. Local organizations on the front-line of COVID-19 and other disasters typically receive as little as 3% of donations made after disasters. In contrast, 97% of every donation using SmartResponse can reach local efforts. SmartResponse.org incentivizes transparency, as organizations must share information to get listed. Outcomes: SmartResponse serves as a global resource for donors, allowing donations to be made directly to local, on-the-ground organizations. We don't take a percentage or cut. We are helping to remove intermediaries that delay and divert funds from the donation process. Requirements: * Require UX Design experience of at least three years. * Knowledge of section 508 compliance in UI/UX design or WCAG 2.1 AA. * Review all designs by design team and confirm they are compliant with *accessibility* and *responsiveness* standards. Our team uses FIGMA. Volunteers must have access to FIGMA. Additionally, we use GitHub, Google Docs and Slack for collaboration. To Apply, please send Resume/CV to: volunteer@disasteraccountability.org. Thank you!
