CommunityCause.org and the volunteers in our community want to help you get the support you need to fulfill the mission of your nonprofit organization! We realize that if we can help you get the resources you need, you will be able to do your work even better, faster, cheaper and more effectively & efficiently. We want to support your efforts to solve social & environmental problems. Together we can Make a difference in the World!

The best news is that all of the CommunityCause.org services are FREE to Nonprofits and our goal is to drive traffic to your website and to the cause that you support! Once your organization is added to the listings of the Directory of Services and Organizations, the community volunteers get to work helping you to get what you need to fulfill your mission.

Using social media and personal contacts, your organization’s wants & needs go out through the grapevine and end up in front of the eyes of an entirely new group of people. Through crowdsourcing, we help you to get the help you need with less wear & tear on your volunteer base. By using the social media channels of community volunteers, your information goes beyond “just preaching to the choir” and reaches new ears and new eyes.

Think of our website CommunityCause.org as a megaphone. You access our community volunteers who act like your extra staff helping to amplify whatever it is that you are doing!

Here are the features that we have built into CommunityCause.org that can help Nonprofits. More features are coming soon! Please be sure to check back with us in a few weeks.

Project in a Box–Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from experienced others? Find out what programs or projects have been helpful to others doing your same work. Or, share a project that has worked well with others. Nonprofits have limited time and money. It would be great if we could share and duplicate successful efforts from other parts of the country or the world.

Ambassadors & Speaker Bureau–These are people who have expertise or receive special training. Ambassadors act as the “Go to” people in their organizations for accurate information on a population or issue.

Contribute information that you have found useful in serving your population or supporting your cause.

Organizations–You can find the exact organizations that are able to help with specific issues. You will be able to identify other organizations that are working on the same issue or helping the same population.

Ombudsman–Do you, as a nonprofit, have a difficult problem? Does an individual that you are trying to help have a particularly sticky problem? Would you like some help from volunteer experts? Do you need help negotiating the government, legal, or nonprofit terrain? Do you need help from someone who knows what buttons to push and what levers to pull to get results? You can list your queries or offer your expertise in answering queries from the public or from other nonprofits.

We are currently looking for volunteer experts who are willing to field especially sticky questions. Do you know someone who is an expert on some aspect of dealing with specific issues?
