Show HN: Givecrew: Give back with your friends (beta in SF)
- escot 7y agoHey HN, Scott and Arvind here, founders of Givecrew (givecrew.org). We would love your feedback on this app that we built for donating and volunteering with your friends. Our goal is to democratize philanthropy by giving small money more impact. The central idea behind givecrew is the 'crew' – a leader, and members, who join forces for good. Each crew has a collective fund that it can use to make donations to organizations on givecrew. When a leader creates a crew they chose a dollar amount that every member will pay once a month into the crew's fund. You can donate some or all of the funds whenever you like. Our goal is to make it super simple to get involved on a local scale by having you team up with friends to share the work. Any feedback is welcome, and in particular we would be interested to know: Do you already feel like you have a good outlet for making donations and volunteering? Do you feel connected to your local community? If you think you would use givecrew, would you be a member or a leader? Can you think of a friend who would make a good leader?
