CharityFocus is a radical inspiring organization which is challenging the current prevailing paradigm of “having more”. Its conception was started by this idea: “Let’s serve without any strings attached, just for the sake of giving.” When they started in 1999, their work was to empower nonprofits with web-based technological solutions but that work soon expanded into effectively organizing and motivating hundreds of inspired volunteers. By 2003, they were also providing web-services ranging from a portal to create your own fundraising website to a banner-ad service that promotes inspiring messages to a viral acts-of-kindness game. In 2006, they launched a gift-economy print magazine. Today, the work of CharityFocus regularly touches thousands of lives in a myriad of different ways. From its very inception, though, the focus of CharityFocus has been on the inner change that comes when people take the opportunity to act selflessly. No matter how many non-profits are served and how much excellent work is performed, their emphasis will always be on the volunteer experience. CharityFocus strives to be an incubator of compassionate action by enabling everyday heroes — people just like you and us — with the opportunity to serve.
