MISSION

 

we empower citizens to give regularly without feeling poorer, to learn about others without feeling schooled, and to meet others without thinking of them as 'other'. 

We believe that philanthropy is due for an update: it’s about more than raising money, it's a tool that can be used to create connection and community. So we bring together people who want to learn and help with people who need to be heard and supported, as equals - and we include the community we support in our events.

Together we are an antidote to powerlessness, one fun-raiser at a time. 

We are a bridge between non-profits that are overlooked & underfunded and individuals who are overworked & overly solicited. WeDoSomething proposes a new kind of philanthropy that offers itself as a solution rather than as another responsibility - and fits into our busy lives. We want people to enjoy doing good, so that it becomes a pleasure and a habit rather than just another responsibility.

If one person walks out of one our events being more open-minded and more connected to others in their community - and beyond - then we did something good.
