Manifesto for#ITProsWhoCare

WE BELIEVE THAT THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD STANDS ON THE SHOULDERS OF EVERYDAY GIANTS

Human have always wrestled with challenges such as poverty, hunger, disease, conflict. Today, nonprofit organizations around the world work day and night to help those in need. Here volunteering plays a huge role. As volunteers, all of us have the ability to fight for what we believe. At #charity, our mission is to empower everyday people to be giants: to use their superskills to take a stand and change the world.

WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE CHANCE TO CHANGE THE WORLD

We believe that people are naturally good, but that the lack of the right tools and the right community leaves good intentions unharvested. We understand that life does not always give us the choice to sell everything and move to the developing world and that the local volunteering opportunities don’t always fully leverage your super skills.

But what if your personal superpowers could change the world in a much bigger way? What if you could find the perfect volunteering opportunity for your skills, with a cause that lights your soul on fire, and be sure that your work would make an exponential impact? What if you could change the world from behind your computer screen? At #charity, we’re creating a future in which everyday heroes can change the world.

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY TO CONNECT EVERYDAY HEROES WITH HIGH IMPACT PROJECTS

As a technology company, we at #charity envision a world in which good-hearted, technically-skilled human beings can find the perfect opportunities to contribute their superpowers for causes they care about. We envision a world in which:

Jose, the Costa Rican computer programmer, can create a fundraising website for a nonprofit helping the disabled victims of landmines in Southeast Asia.
Samantha, the San Francisco-based graphic designer, can create impact-demonstrating infographics for a global education nonprofit building schools for children in developing countries.
Teams of technology volunteers can collaborate seamlessly to build tools that help great nonprofits serve their causes more effectively.

At #charity we’re dedicated to redefining volunteer work by making high-impact volunteer opportunities accessible to everyone. And we don’t believe in giving back; we believe in giving forward.

If you believe what we believe--if you’re an #ITProWhoCares --then be part of a world that’s working together toward a bigger purpose. Join us and unleash the potential of your superpowers.
