Manifesto
For #ITProsWhoCare.
Three beliefs that drive everything we do — a quiet promise to the technologists, designers and makers who want their craft to matter.
We believe
The future of the world stands on the shoulders of everyday giants.
Humans have always wrestled with challenges like poverty, hunger, disease and conflict. Today, nonprofit organisations around the world work day and night to help those in need — and 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
Everyone should have the chance to change the world.
People are naturally good, but a lack of the right tools and the right community leaves good intentions unharvested. Life doesn't always give us the choice to sell everything and move to the developing world — and local volunteering doesn'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 opportunity for your skills, with a cause that lights your soul on fire — and change the world from behind your computer screen? At #charity, we're building a future in which everyday heroes can do exactly that.
We believe
Technology can connect everyday heroes with high-impact projects.
As a technology company, we envision a world in which good-hearted, technically-skilled human beings can find the perfect opportunities to contribute their superpowers to causes they care about. We envision a world in which:
- Jose, the Costa Rican developer, can build a fundraising site for a nonprofit helping landmine victims in Southeast Asia.
- Samantha, a San Francisco designer, can create impact-demonstrating infographics for a global nonprofit building schools in developing countries.
- Teams of technology volunteers collaborate seamlessly to build tools that help great nonprofits serve their causes more effectively.
We're dedicated to redefining volunteer work by making high-impact opportunities accessible to everyone. And we don't believe in giving back — we believe in giving forward.
If you believe what we believe — join us.
Be part of a world that's working together toward a bigger purpose. Unleash the potential of your superpowers.
