Why doGoodr?

To help us find each other.

When someone has a great idea that can help make all our lives better, healthier, happier and more sane, everything needed to make it a reality is out there waiting to find them.  The tragedy is that many wonderful ideas never get to first base simply because people of similar hearts and minds can’t find each other.

doGoodr is designed to enable our intentions to connect with the passions of others, and take action.

To help people find you.

doGoodr is not a “capture” or "content" web site.  doGoodr is designed to direct Internet traffic to you.  Creating a Post is a way to help others click through to your web site, donation page, photos, videos, blogs, profile, contact information… anything about you and what you’re doing.

Because the web has a lot of content but not enough “utility.”

The world doesn’t need another blogging web site, photo site, video site, news site, donations site, or social networking site.  We don’t need more web lists or classifieds.  There are already so many good ones.

We need tools that allow all this “meta-data” to be accessible and useful to a person with specific intentions and needs.  We need technologies that are complimentary and collaborative with existing web sites and search engines, to help us accomplish our goals.

To promote collaboration over competition.

Future historians may look back at this time as the moment when competition, as a way of life, reached diminishing returns.  We see evidence of this all around us, in our economic breakdowns, our health issues and our environment.  They may see this as a tipping point, when collaboration produced the best solutions to our shared concerns.

doGoodr is about promoting, enabling and enhancing collaboration in all its forms.

To share the wealth of success with its creators.

The truth is that the wealth generated by any enterprise belongs in great part to those who actually create it – in our case the users of our web site.

doGoodr is the first and only company based on this collaborative, wealth-sharing concept.

As our user community grows, an increasingly large portion of the wealth generated will be given back to the site’s users in the form of grants.  And our members will have a vote in deciding which Posts for Need are the most deserving.

doGoodr is a project of The Fund.
