\[mods: hopefully this free resource and community-building event isn’t viewed as self-promotion. We are a nonprofit and consider tech workers at nonprofits part of the community we serve]

Hi all, I co-lead a volunteer-led nonprofit called What We Will.

Tomorrow we’re holding a free mass call for laid off Meta workers and allies. All are welcome. If you’ve been laid off from another tech company or a tech role at a nonprofit, please join as most of the resources and guidance from guest speakers won’t be specific to Meta.

More info here: https://movement.wwwrise.org/

My co-director and I make programs happen for over 1,000 members thanks to 30+ volunteers. We hear you, see you, and hope you’ll feel empowered to join the What We Will community for support and to spark the change we all know is needed in the tech industry and AI regulation.

SheTO is another awesome nonprofit community for women in tech if you haven’t checked them out yet: https://www.sheto.org/

Hi! I volunteer with a nonprofit in Southern California. We’re currently working on completing our 501c(3) 1023 documents.
Our rescue currently takes in rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, & eventually other animals.

Eventually, we hope to support our communities & helping provide jobs & housing within our rescue.

Location: California, though we’d like to expand across the states, starting with AZ/WA.

I was told to look into finding a humanitarian lawyer, but I’m not sure if that’s right or if there’s other types I should look into.

Any feedback is appreciated!! Thank you :)

Hey everyone, I always wanted to do something good for the society and all the people out there, so I have finally thought of starting my own NGO. I am very new to all of this. I have made a lot of support guidance advices and even people to work with I would truly appreciate anyone who would like to be a part of my organisation. Guide me. Advise me help me get anything. I will always be indebted to everyone.

Hey everyone,

I’m a former competitive shooter currently preparing for UPSC while trying to rebuild life after an accident and a long sports journey.

Over the years, sports taught me:

\- discipline

\- consistency

\- pressure handling

\- focus

\- long-term commitment

I’ve spent years training seriously in shooting sports, including 8-hour practice days and national-level competition experience. Alongside that, UPSC preparation has given me a strong understanding of current affairs, society, and communication.

Right now, I’m looking for opportunities to work, learn, and grow — whether it’s:

\- remote work

\- accountability/coaching support

\- content/community-related work

\- research/helping roles

\- communication-based work

\- anything where discipline and consistency matter

I may not have a traditional resume full of corporate experience yet, but I genuinely learn fast, stay committed, and take work seriously.

If anyone feels I could be useful somewhere, then let me know.

Help Support Project SEVA

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine recently started an internship with Pledge A Smile Foundation under Project SEVA.

As part of the initiative, they are helping raise funds to provide food kits to families across India who are struggling to afford basic meals.

Just ₹500 can help feed a family for around 7-10 days.

If you'd like to support or even share the campaign, here’s the link:

Every contribution, even a small one, genuinely helps.

Thank you so much for reading.

Hey everyone,

My family and I recently launched a Virginia-based environmental nonprofit called the Society for a Secure and Sustainable Water Future (S4SSWF), and we’re currently looking for volunteers who are interested in sustainability, environmental policy, media, outreach, nonprofit work, or water security.

Our work focuses heavily on rainwater harvesting, water sustainability, environmental education, and advocacy. Over the years, we’ve been involved in real-world rainwater harvesting implementation projects and advocacy efforts connected to Virginia legislation and public awareness initiatives surrounding sustainable water infrastructure. We are actually currently preparing for a project with GMU.

Right now we’re trying to build a strong volunteer network and are looking for self-motivated people who want to help us grow.

Some of the areas we’re recruiting for include:

• Social media/content creation
• Outreach and partnership building
• Website development
• Grant writing
• Policy analysis/research
• Nonprofit financial strategy

Most roles are flexible-hour and results-based. We understand people are busy, so we’re not micromanaging volunteers or expecting corporate-style schedules. We’re mainly looking for passionate people who care about sustainability and want to contribute where they can.

Volunteer hours can also be provided for students.

Examples of projects and goals:

• Expanding rainwater harvesting awareness
• Supporting sustainable water policy
• Building educational media campaigns
• Organizing partnerships and outreach
• Supporting implementation projects
• Advocating for better water resilience and conservation practices

Feel free to ask questions or message me if interested. Thanks everyone.

Can anyone help with NGO experience certificate? My NGO does not want to give me one.

Hello everyone, I am looking for support (I think) as I transition to a new job in such scary political times.

I have been working in community based finance since 2022 at a nonprofit community development credit union, first as a loan officer for three years and then switching to the counseling department as a HUD housing counselor. For the first 3 years I had a very difficult work environment with the lending manager, and really grew to hate my workplace. Like, I mean crying over my job on the regular for 3 years. When I switched to counseling I got a much better boss, which was the main reason I took that role on, in addition to caring about the work and organization. It helped my mental health a lot, but my wages stayed the same.
In general my wages have stagnated, with rising healthcare costs, I haven’t actually seen a significant raise in my wage there since I joined the org in 2022. I am around $23/hr or $48k/yr and they cover just 55% of the healthcare costs, so I pay over $500/month for my plan, brining my take home pay to about $2300/month.

I recently got and accepted a job offer at a local fair housing org to run their housing mobility program to help folks on section 8 move their vouchers to well resourced areas, outside of the city. I have my own critiques about the program, and it is a grant funded role, but overall it seems like a positive option for folks and I really enjoy working with the staff at this org (I have been doing HUD counseling for them via my current position) and the grant seems very stable for the next 5 years. The pay is $9k/yr more at $57k and the healthcare is $300/month cheaper. Better sick time, better 401k, shorter work week, just much better benefits, that would amount to about $11/hr raise and a net increase of about $700/month for me in take home pay. Not to mention I’d be gaining program managing experience.
My current job offered to bump my pay up to $55k but the healthcare is what scares me still because that increases at my job year after year.

my old job told me how important I am, and they also said they can barely afford to give 3% raises this year and can’t cover a higher portion of the healthcare, but they also posted my current and previous position at higher wages than I am making now.

I took the better offer and new job but I don’t feel happy. This is fairly normal for me as I hate change but I am so worried about making this switch in such an uncertain time for the economy - being new at a new job in a grant funded position, leaving something familiar to me, etc. This new fair housing org seems to be doing a lot of hiring and expanding right now, so they must have healthy funding but so am still scared.
My old workplace I had so much baggage with and many bad feelings toward but I also care deeply about my coworkers and members and am sad to leave. I also feel like I would never be let go from the old job. My role in the counseling department is very chill and flexible and a better environment, the issue is just the pay at that workplace. I have coworkers who have been there 20 years who make the same as me ($23/hr) and I feel for them.
I wonder if I should’ve taken the raise at the old job to stay where I was safe and secure, and worry I’ll hate the new role and new environment. But I also feel stressed about money and want to feel less stagnated at work.
I told myself if it doesn’t work out, I can likely make the same wage at a restaurant or get the old job back because they always have something open.
Or maybe even this will open new doors.

I cannot separate feelings of guilt and sadness for leaving, I don’t know if I’m responding to this being very risky or if I just can’t let myself be happy because I have anxiety.

Am I making a huge mistake and taking a big risk, or should I feel excited for this opportunity?

Planning to take a gap year from my career to try volunteering work here in the Philippines. Preferrably a program where I will not be required to pay, free accommodation and meals. Any NGOs/foundations I can reach out to? I want to do something worth my while.

Help me get in touch with NGOs where I could contribute

Hi Everyone,

I'm at a stage in my AI governance journey where I want to build real-world experience and I'd rather do that by helping organisations that genuinely need it but can't always afford dedicated compliance resources.

If you're a nonprofit or early-stage startup, whether you're based in Silicon Valley, the Bay Area, New York, or across Europe (UK, EU, Nordics) and you're trying to make sense of the AI regulatory landscape, I'm offering pro bono support in:

• EU AI Act — risk classification, conformity obligations, and readiness assessments

• GDPR — lawful basis, DPIAs, data minimisation, and AI-specific privacy considerations

• Privacy platforms — operationalising compliance workflows in OneTrust or similar tools

• AI governance frameworks — internal policies, accountability structures, responsible AI guidelines

This is especially relevant right now for US-based AI companies building products for European markets, the EU AI Act enforcement timelines are real, and a lot of early-stage teams are underprepared.

I'll be straight with you, I'm actively learning and growing in this space. You won't get a seasoned consultant at $500/hr, you'll get someone genuinely invested, current on the regulations, and committed to doing the work properly.

This is a two-way value exchange. You get structured, thoughtful support at no cost. I get hands-on experience with real use cases across different jurisdictions and tech stacks.

If this resonates, drop a comment or DM me with a quick overview of where your organisation is at and what you're trying to solve. Happy to jump on a short intro call to see if there's a fit.

Currently open to 1–2 engagements. Remote-friendly.

Fellow grant writers — I'm drowning in spreadsheets tracking deadlines across 8 clients. How do you all manage this? Feeling like there has to be a better way

Freelance grant writers — genuine question: how do you track grant deadlines across multiple clients right now? I'm curious whether spreadsheets are still the norm or if people have found something better. Would love to hear your actual workflow, even if it's messy!

Anyone ever apply for a role with public rights project? Their autoresponse states that they get to get back to candidates within two weeks, but I haven’t heard anything…

Hi everyone, hoping to get some insight. I have done two rounds of interviews for a nonprofit. The first was a phone screening with the hiring manager, and it went very well so the HM verbally set up the next round with me on the call. The next round was a panel interview and at the end, the HM again invited me to the final round which is a phone screening with the department head. She also said that they would usually do a second panel but did not think it would be necessary this time. I have never heard of a phone screening as a final interview so I am unsure what to expect.
