Growing numbers of metro area non-profit organizations are discovering a valuable new online resource called Communitey® (www.communitey.net), a free website connecting non-profit leaders and their organizations with the funders, expert resources, community event calendars, local supporters, business partners, and media outlets needed to build stronger agencies.
Metro area non-profits think of Communitey® as “the ultimate information grant”, because it streamlines the tedious process of finding vital resources, local information, and knowledgeable contacts within the metro area. Visitors to the site will discover a valuable array of resources including information about local mission-oriented enterprises (a.k.a. non-profits), businesses serving those organizations, local event calendars, funding sources and associated calendar dates, discussion forums addressing topical non-profit issues, relevant news excerpts, and blogs from industry leaders and influencers.
Communitey® also helps area non-profits “get discovered” by potential corporations and foundations that use the site to pre-screen potential non-profit organizations for their “invitation-only” opportunity to apply for funding and grants.
There is even a special area for classified listings, to help organizations create their own marketplace for career opportunities, materials, merchandise, and situational needs.
Michael Q. Parker, founder and president of Communitey®, is energized by the opportunities generated by this new online resource. “We saw the opportunity for a business-to-business oriented website focused on meeting the needs of non-profit organizations. During our developmental stage, every organization we contacted eagerly embraced the concept. We aggressively sought feedback from both non-profit leaders and business executives, integrating their feedback in our site development process,” he said. “When starting my own agency, I quickly realized that leaders in the nonprofit community lacked an open, centralized business-to-business hub, providing access to the information, knowledgeable leaders, best practices, and vendors needed to meet their daily operating needs.”
Xanthia Berry, Executive Director of Shadow Blossom, Inc., (www.shadowblossom.org) a local agency which helps other non-profits build organizational capacity says, “We’re recommending registration with Communitey to all of our client organizations. The site is very well-conceived and the resources offered by Communitey can help drive growth for non-profit organizations both large and small.”
Communitey® is attracting a broad array of metro area non-profit agencies, serving as their local resource to support daily operating needs. The site is free for non-profit organizations (and individuals associated with these agencies), and encourages collaboration across local organizations, community leaders, corporate partners, and a wide variety of businesses serving the needs of non-profit organizations. Communitey® is also a valuable resource for funding agencies, media organizations and potential corporate sponsors seeking information about non-profit organizations.
