Doing good in your community shouldn't be this hard to start.
Find a cause you care about, connect with a trusted local nonprofit, and show up — all in one place. We handle the matchmaking so you can get to the good part.
Cause & Community is a free local platform that connects people with volunteer opportunities, trusted nonprofits, events, and fundraisers — and shares the stories of the impact they create together.
Three ways to make your community better
However you want to show up, there's a clear next step waiting for you.
I want to help
Find volunteer shifts, donate to local causes, and join events near you.
Find ways to help

I own a business
Sponsor stories, fund causes, and rally your team around your community.
Become a partnerWanting to help is easy. Knowing where to start isn't.
Opportunities are scattered across dozens of sites, half the listings are out of date, and it's hard to know which organizations to trust. So good intentions fizzle out — and local nonprofits stay short-handed.
- Volunteer listings buried across the web
- No easy way to tell which nonprofits are legit
- Great causes that never find the people who'd love them
