Susan and I have been longtime supporters of the wonderful ChangeX platform: ChangeX helps spread social innovation across communities. This week ChangeX introduced a new model for donors, which they are calling Impact as a Service (IaaS). This is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek reference to Infrastructure as a Service (also IaaS). It is spot on though as the two share important characteristics:IaaS, reduces or even eliminates the overhead of manual setup activities, allowing all participants to f...

We all live in communities and it is up to us to make our community stronger. There tends to be no shortage of people who want to contribute to that. But many find it difficult to get going: it can be hard to find others who share the same impulse and even harder to figure out how to get started. Very few people want to embark on a lonely climb up a steep mountain without a map! Enter the team at ChangeX. Started by Paul O'Hara they are building a network for sharing community initiative...

If like me you prefer Giving Tuesday over Black Friday and Cyber Monday then it might be a good time to give some money to ChangeX. Susan and I will continue to match any funds 1:1 until $25,000 is reached. ChangeX is helping communities strengthen themselves by seeing what is working for others.
