One especially nice feature is that a nonprofit agency needn't have a Web site in order to list detailed information about its services, volunteer opportunities, internships and upcoming events. A feature on the site matches your skills, location and other preferences with projects listed in the database. You can browse around the world, by country, or by keyword. Money isn't the only way to contribute to a good cause. At Idealist, a substantial section helps visitors track down opportunities for volunteering.
Service organizations can enter information to have their projects included.
In reading the following quotes, please note that before changing our name to Action Without Borders we were called the Contact Center Network. Go to the Contact Center Network's Nonprofit Website Directory and search a database of 8,500 sites. For those who manage nonprofit organizations, the site also presents valuable information about everything from finances and fund-raising to successful government lobbying and public relations. Its new database will allow nonprofits to list their services and needs and update them at a moment's notice. Community is the buzz, as it should be, and the Internet is the tool.
