Volunteering, in detail
We would rather give you a small, clear task than an open-ended request. Typical roles:
- Technical reviewers and builders: review tool submissions for quality, or build a specific tool for the catalog. Developers, data scientists and engineers.
- Domain experts: check that a submitted tool gives sound agricultural, conservation or WASH guidance. A couple of reviews a month is plenty.
- Translators: help bring knowledge into Swahili, French and other languages used in our field countries.
Volunteers are credited by name, receive a clear role description and a point of contact, and can step back at any time.
Offer to help
Tell us a little about yourself and how you would like to help. We will reply by email.
If you are thinking of donating
Donations are not open yet. When they are, we will tell you what your gift did, specifically, not just that it was received. We will state clearly whether a gift qualifies for any tax relief rather than promise what we cannot confirm. Large or unusual gifts go through proportionate checks, which protects both you and us.
If you are a funder
We are applying to institutional funders and welcome questions. We will share our plans, budgets and governance, including how we manage the founder's relationship to a founding member company, which is described on our transparency page.
