Go check out Change.org a great donor and nonprofit resource I just discovered. Change.org aims to transform social activism by serving as the central platform that connects likeminded people, whatever their interests, and enables them to exchange information, share ideas, and collectively act to address the issues they care about.
Thanks for the tip, Matthew.
