Overview

The organization was started in 2009 by Raymar Hampshire, then a Coro Fellow in Public Affairs. The organization collected skill-based service projects and helps recruit change agents to use their skills to complete them.

Donors could select projects and contribute as much as they want, helping both non-profits and college graduates reach their full potential. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
