Isn't it about time we harness today's tech to increase positive volunteering activity?
Your generosity enables us to build and maintain a Volunteer Search and Social Platform that will change our world.
We require a 24-month initial investment of $450,000 to scale and maintain the Scout platform - this covers our tech stack expenses and salaried software developers. We are currently an all-volunteer team, but to have a nation-wide impact, we need your help.
Why the world needs the Scout platform:
Volunteerism has been declining since 2002*
The number of organizations seeking volunteers has increased year over year, and the reported top challenge they are experiencing is 'recruitment of volunteers'**
Premiere search engines bury relevant nonprofit websites behind ads and tangentially-related businesses and national organizations
Existing volunteer-matching websites do not actually search the Internet – they use 25 year-old database technology that requires nonprofits to write and submit newspaper-like listings to them!
Scout leverages AI and search functionality to:
Scour the Internet, discovering organization’s websites
Analyze website data
Display categorized and summarized search results of volunteer activities
