About Us
Social Actions is an open source database of actions people can take on any issue. The actions in our database are aggregated from across the social web and include everything from volunteer opportunities to micro credit loans.
We encourage social tech programmers to develop web applications that intelligently distribute the actions in our database across the websites, social networks, and mobile phones that millions of people use every day. The overarching goal of our work is to make the web more action-oriented, or in other words, to make it easier for people to make a difference.
Mission
We make it easy for you to make a difference.
What We Do
We help you find and share opportunities to change the world.
- First, we collect ways to get involved in the causes you care about from these 50+ action sources, including Care2, Change.org, DonorsChoose.org, DemocracyinAction, GlobalGiving, Idealist, Kiva, SixDegrees and VolunteerMatch.
- Then, we make it easy for you to find these opportunities by presenting them in a user-friendly search engine.
- We also encourage nonprofits, companies, and third-party developers to create online tools that help you share ways for others to take action on your website, blog, or mobile device.
