Project Description
Want to/seek help, but don’t know how or where?
Volify.org will be the first open online platform where volunteers will easily find Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) that are also seeking for their help. A volunteer/NPO board.
By listing Non-Profits, their categories, locations, events and vacancies, volunteers will be able to search and select the ones that best suit them and readily connect and start helping.

Description of the project
Summary
Until now, the most used way non-profit organisations communicated their efforts and needs was using social media, platforms that by design are based on a business model focused on serving data from users to advertisers. This causes NPOs to struggle to connect as an advertising budget, for obvious reasons, should and can’t be a priority. This causes a sense of minimal impact and notoriety, a scattered community and a very limited reach and engagement, when compared to companies that compete for the same space but employ a Marketing Strategy that easily overshadows Non-Profits’ efforts.
We don’t have to be louder. We must be brighter. Creating an exclusive platform for NPOs to showcase their positive work and impact, events, and vacancies, in a simple and direct way, to those who seek to help their local and/or distant communities/causes is the perfect solution to connect “wants and needs” and focus on what really matters - action.
Love is an action. Act now.
You will be able to support your cause directly and easily, by searching the projects that act on it and by checking what they need and how you can help.
By making volunteering and supporting causes something easy, cool, and modern we will directly be contributing to the increase of reach and therefore the impact of those who are in the field, changing the world every day. We will communicate to volunteers in a dynamic, fresh, and engaging way, creating a community of people that care about the world what it’s being done and what they can do. This way we will be creating content focused on showcasing positive and impactful projects.
Key objectives for sustainability
By having a close connection with Environmental Non-Profit Organisations and projects that promote environmental sustainability and help them communicate their needs and the work they are doing, we will be giving them exposure and increasing their reach, effectively helping their efforts become more efficient and yield greater results.
Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
The User Experience and Communication will be young, colourful, impactful, bright. Imagine the 90’s through a nostalgia lens.
Photography, video and other types of content will be created and curated by us. The Creative & Marketing Director has extensive experience in creating and developing impactful content to luxury brands and will now apply the same type of dynamic and impact we desire for Volify.
We will be producing content for the projects, backed by direct donations to Volify or as a service, and communication will focus on the positive impact, on what’s being built and the future, rather than the negative, but also adhering to the transparency, objectivity, and integrity of journalism standards.
Focusing on success and meaningful impact will have a long-lasting result of motivation and will showcase powerful changes and inspire others to start acting and getting involved in their community.
Key objectives for inclusion
Connection and inclusion are the whole purpose of this project. Volify intends to incite meaningful action and participation in the local community by engaging and showcasing projects that promote the European values and most of all, Human Values. By bridging the gap between the one and the many we eradicate isolation and promote inclusion and connection. We do this by facilitating the connection between individuals and communities, organisations and projects, as well as shining a light in the positive efforts through Europe.

Innovative character
Volify is not front-line project. Its impact and its results will be only measured in the numbers of people and funds we helped direct to those who are in the front-line, be it an environmental organisation developing sustainability solutions or an association that promotes inclusion of the marginalised.
We will help those that help, making it easier for non-profit associations to communicate, creating a community of volunteers and other people willing to help in other ways. We will help shine a bright light in their efforts and promote their work.
We will close the gap between the individual and the community, promoting a bigger positive impact of their efforts by creating a platform where they can request assistance and show their work.
Associations will be curated, as they must be representatives of the values we believe as Europeans and their work needs to have a positive impact in the world.
