Love this idea, @chrisbolman. There are many charities and platforms to discover which charities to back, but many people don't have money to give and sometimes one's time and expertise is more useful anyway.

@rrhoover thanks Ryan - exactly our thinking. money's only part of the equation, particularly when it comes to things like civic participation, voting, teaching, etc. no matter where you live, the time/skills you have or what you care about we want to make those first involvement steps easier.

spent the last few weeks debating whether or not it was time to go on PH (since we have a lot more new product shipping this fall and a lot to do overall). finally decided the best thing would be to put it out there and start getting feedback from people like you. so would love to hear your thoughts. how are we doing? what should we build next? what would you like to see for us? thanks for any/all comments, support... 🙏

This is a great way to come up with ideas to serve some very worthy local causes. Nice work, Chris. If there are non-profits that are looking to partner with you guys, what's the best way for them to reach out?

@eddie_higgins thanks. means a lot. right now any interested non-profit/cause/org/gov should email me directly (chris + at + brightest.io) or contact us via the website: https://www.brightest.io/contact/ >> in a couple weeks approved orgs will be able to sign up directly on the site, manage their own listings, etc.

Great job guys, it's much needed. There are a lot of people who want to help, but don't know how. This fills the gap. Also a great tool for schools and organizations whenever they want to do a group-help activities. Keep going!

Great idea! In the past I've wanted to volunteer my time, but didn't know where to start looking.

Love the idea - there is defiantly a need out there for these types of solutions.
