Changing the world, one fundraiser at a time.

Introducing DonateOfficeSpace.org

April 30th, 2008 Posted in Announcements

Freshly launched as of 10am ET on April 30th, DonateOfficeSpace.org matches charitable organizations who need office space, with philanthropic-minded corporations who find themselves with excess office space that they’re willing to donate.

The charity gets free office space, the corporation gets a tax write-off while simultaneously helping their community (and in some cases, increases other on-site resources at their disposal) so that everybody wins.

DonateOfficeSpace.org will feature a searchable database of user profiles so that the best matches within a geographic area you specify can be found for you. It works kind of like a dating service, without all the creepy photos and stalkers.

We’ll also feature exclusive editorial content that deals with technological and legal issues that make these newly-forged relationships run even smoother.

Right now, we’re offering free lifetime memberships to the first 50 charitable organizations and first 50 corporations to sign up. Signups after that will be with a $9.99 annual membership fee, but we wanted to get the ball rolling quickly.

Three things to note if this is of interest to you:

1) Editorial content is being written as we speak, so aside from the front page, there won’t be anything to read there until the weekend.

2) If you’re one of the first 50 charities or corporations to sign up, you’ll get a $9.99 discount on your $9.99 membership at checkout. We’ll post a note on the front page when the “Beta Discount Program” is over.

3) We will enable the Search functionality of the website as soon as there are matches to be made. THAT doesn’t happen until we have at least two or three of each type of user signed up.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. We’ve been working hard building this website, and as far as we can tell, it runs error-free. Hopefully that’s your experience too! (That’s why you do a Beta…)
