Craigslist Foundation establishes a service that helps others

While Craigslist founder, Craig Newmark, is known as one of the world's most famous entrepreneur, however now he has stretched his talent and pocketbook into the humanitarian realm as well. The website, craigslist.org, was originally created in order to help people – to sell or buy items, to find a job, to find a place to live, etc. The Craigslist Foundation, a non-profit organization, will provide various humanitarian services to those that really need it. The goal of the group is to ultimately provide resources and educate others in order to give strength to leaders who want to create connections and increase their skill set (much like what Craigslist does for people).

Ultimately, the foundation is much like the business world, in that it is solely about connections. They wish to connect individuals with future partners that will ultimately better the world. These connections will bring them one step closer to working on whatever their passions lie within. The non-partisan group does not request that others believe in what they do; however they hope that members will work towards helping others as well. Ultimately, the divisions we have created in society are what has stopped us from succeeding even further. By taking time to provide various tools, we can help society better itself just by giving a bit of our time.

Some of these tools include:
· Resources to start a non profit
· assistance with fundraising
· tips on how to use technology
· advice on how to recruit people to work for the cause

Many believe the best tool however is the one online called Non-Profit Boot Camp. This tool provides various presentations, handouts, recordings and podcasts from key speaker. This tool has helped many others in gaining support, understand how to file for taxes as well as establishing their specific organization. These skills that are acquire are vital for the success of the organization. Tax information is easily available from the government; it is important that this information is read and understood. The boot camp is also available “in person.” For a small cost of $50, individuals can attend various workshops and establish strong networking ties amongst one another.

Fundraising may be the most important issue that these organizations must work towards. Craigslist Foundation offers “Elevator Pitch,” a seminar that will help groups establish mission statements and objectives in which will help guide members to pitch their ideas to others to gain more support. This seminar is available to be listened to for free online.

The Craigslist Foundation newsletter provides helpful information for non-profit. While cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and D.C., are mostly highlighted, it is a great tool to read and understand to get more ideas for one's own organization. Learn by example. The foundation works toward gathering the largest group of innovative leaders amongst themselves so to create a better tomorrow for today's modern world.
