Problem: How do we increase the total amount of social good in our community?

People want to volunteer/organize charitable events, but find that there are several barriers:

  • 💵 High fixed costs (e.g. you need 10 tables, or to rent a car)
  • 🙋🏼 Hard to find specialized volunteers (e.g. food handling requirements, minimum age requirement)
  • 👪 Low impact if you can't find enough volunteers

Our Solution

We created HumanKynd, a platform that allows anyone to volunteer, donate, or provide suggestions to charitable events.

Features

  • 💜 Allows you to create and manage charitable events
  • 💚 When people view your event, they can donate money, let you borrow equipment, or volunteer
  • 🔎 You can find new events based on causes you're passionate about, or via skills/certifications (Foodsafe, organizing large events, driving)
