Why it matters

In the US, 80 million people volunteer over 7 billion hours each year in person to civic causes, but online civic engagement is still limited to hashtags and small donations. We believe that the internet should make it easier to help the causes that we care about, not just talk about them.

Today’s nonprofits need support, and creative professionals have valuable skills to volunteer. But without a natural connection, they’ll never meet. So, we built Laurels to be that bridge. And it’s 100% free to use.
