I care about social change organizations because I feel that they have a phenomenal chance to enhance every person’s human experience. I learned a long time ago that life isn’t about me, but about giving my life away to serve those whom God puts in my path. By partnering with the organizations, I am able to help them help others in ways greater than their own means.
I’m blessed to have given back to others through various ways: Planting and pastoring Churches, supporting children’s ministries, and serving as an ICISF trained Trauma Chaplain. I serve First Responders, Police Officers, and Fire Department teams when they are faced with traumatic events. I also serve those who need on-scene interventions, as well as counseling families who have lost loved ones. I thrive on serving others and always look forward to creating long-lasting community relationships.
I care about non-profits because of the difference I see them make each day. I’ve seen communities strengthened, injustices righted, and lives changed (both in the served community and in volunteers themselves!). Sometimes these impacts are monumental, and sometimes they affect a single person — and both are just as powerful.
With some friends and a lot of work, I helped start Come & Live!, a music-based non-profit organization based in Nashville, TN. To date, the organization has freely given away over 3 million worship songs, while maintaining a total marketing budget of under $10,000. I understand how tough it can be to navigate the ever-changing online world with limited means, and I realize that it often comes down to a hard-working few to accomplish the goals of the organization. It’s my goal to help empower those few to create the change they so strongly believe in.
I care about non-profits because I believe they are the heart of where business and humanity can come together to create something for the good and help raise awareness of those who need a voice. I’ve worked with or volunteered for many non-profits in the Nashville area, including Mocha Club, Hands on Nashville, Second Harvest Food Bank, Bethlehem Center and more.
I love volunteering because of the stories I hear from those I get to serve. By volunteering at NICE and World Relief, I have learned so much about other cultures and personal stories which has ultimately changed my own story and the way I view the world and people! I like to believe that with any career one may choose in life, you can still help change the world and attempt to make it a better place. Working with a purpose and an end goal of making positive footprints in this world is what makes me tick!
Ocean Futures Society is a non-profit marine conservation and education organization. The group’s chairman and spokesman is Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of the legendary ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau. OFS serves as a “Voice for the Ocean” by communicating in all media the critical bond between people and the sea and the importance of wise environmental policy.
What makes this site different? We had the pleasure of working with photographer Carrie Vonderhaar to really bring the nautical look and feel to the Web. Our strategy from the beginning was to let her photography shine throughout the site to help create a unique user experience. The older site lacked a CMS and was spread out over several domains. Now, updates to the latest environmental news and information comes at a single click from anywhere in the world.
The site also tracks the OFS team on their expeditions around the globe, and a new Live Events section will bring the experience right to you through an integration with Ustream. Registered members can also download ringtones and wallpapers for their mobile phones. Users that register on the site are simultaneously added and updated through the Democracy In Action’s supporter management platform.
Who wouldn’t be inspired by this story?! A 10-year-old girl wasn’t afraid to dream big by making a difference halfway around the world. Ellie envisioned a 5k race that would raise money for children in Africa. What became of her vision is nothing short of a miracle. We have been a proud partner of ERFA for the past three years, specifically offering our design, marketing and development services. Last year, we were able to add a brand new system for accepting online registrations, donations, and volunteer sign-ups, including their “ERFA Heroes” system that allows people to sign-up to raise money, and allow people to donate in their name.
This year, ERFA has an ambitious goal of 1,000 event participants and raising $100,000. It won’t be easy, but by teaming together, anything is possible. As the ERFA slogan says: “DREAM BIG. TAKE ACTION.”
Abolish all nuclear weapons. That is the audacious mission of the Two Futures Project, a group of religious leaders united by the common belief that a world without nuclear weapons is safer than the one we have today. To engage supporters of all ages and backgrounds, the group turned to Interactive for Good to make it happen.
First, the major challenge: you can’t disarm the world’s nukes by visiting a website. So our Strategy sessions focused on developing meaningful ways that visitors could take action. Despite the odds, everyone on the team believed that creating an engaging interactive campaign had very real potential to change the national conversation about nuclear threats.
By leveraging the power of social media, Two Futures allowed anyone to speak directly to government leaders about nuclear weapons: an innovative registration process allows the user to write letters to politicians -- including the President -- in one click. Supporters can spread the word for Two Futures Project through Facebook and Twitter by using the integrated social networking tools. We encouraged users to create 30 second videos about why nuclear disarmament is necessary for the “Make the Case” section. We’re thrilled to say this experience won Best in Show (Non-Profit) at the W3 Awards; hopefully it can help change the world, too.
AOur recent work with IAVA (The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) is giving people everywhere the chance to open a door and change a life. With the unemployment rate for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan doubling in the last five years, there's no greater time than now to fight against the unemployment crises for new veterans. Turns out that while the national unemployment averages resides around 9%, young veteran unemployment is at a staggering 30%.
Interactive for Good collaborated with IAVA to create the “Storm the Hill” campaign, which provides a chance for the voice of veterans to be heard on Capitol Hill regarding the unemployment crisis. Through design, videos, strategy and development, we've constructed a portal where we can measure and see real change for an issue in which we believe deeply.
Storm the Hill was so successful that even Stephen Colbert leveraged his social media outlets to raise awareness about veteran unemployement. Look for his face and tweet about opening a door for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans of America at http://stormthehill.org.
