INTRO & PURPOSE Our design challenge at Dignity platform is 'How can we enable all people to give the way they want to, to the causes they choose?' Fundraising for inspiring organisations and projects has always involved a lot of pressurising junk mail, guilt tripping street chugging, annoying cold calling and distressing advertising. We're experimenting with how much we can transform the opportunities to support our favourite causes, by creating a new match-making platform that connects neighbours with each other. in meaningful and helpful ways and harnesses the collective intelligence of supporters to collaboratively tackle social challenges together. VISION Think of a couple of your favourite causes; Small local projects you're inspired by or big non profits you love. Now think of a couple of tasks your neighbours might be able to help with; Perhaps a haircut, gardening, accounting or fixing your bicycle. What if the only excuse your neighbour needed to help you with your task was you donating some money to your favourite cause? Welcome to fundraising with Dignity. Our marketplace is officially launching in Brighton 22nd September and we've got a lot of work to do. We have some startup funding and a budget for the people committed to helping Brighton be the example to the world; and spreading the message: supporting positive social change is something everyone can do, and it can be fun, neighbourly and effective. With Supporter Voice', we embrace another way people can contribute to inspiring causes; - ideas. Propose anything your favourite non-profit could do to be more amazing; it might be around being more transparent, accountable, participative, collaborative; help them tackle a strategic challenge or do anything that would make them ultimately more tempting for you to support. It's time to recognise people passionate about social change as more than just a wallet. We are changing the currency of giving; helping more people forge meaningful relationships in community, develop skills and and find their place in supporting organisations doing invaluable work. YOU While we certainly want more accounting, legal and software developing skills in house, we're much more interested in deeply, profoundly connecting with each other in this purpose driven collaboration. You will be just as interested in 'how' we do as you are in 'what' we do. We're leading by example in pioneering radically transparent and participative ways of working in a self-organising structure without hierarchy. No line managers or internal bureaucracy. Some of the things that inspire us are:
You will be ready to look long and hard in the mirror, because we strive to bring our entire selves to Dignity every day. This requires a commitment to self-development, emotional intelligence and a deep interest in working on our communication and deep exploration into what drives us and most makes us come alive, as well as what gifts and challenges we bring to the collaboration - especially in a self-directed environment.
ROLE Asides from accounts/ bookkeeping/ legal and software development work, some examples of more general things we'd like extra hands on (at least initially and before you become more self-directed) include:
Talk to us about how capable and willing you are to help with these example jobs. Ultimately, we're looking for a new friend to join our adventure as much as we're looking for a new colleague to join our company. Your availability would need to be at least 3x half-days per week. We're applying for another £250,000 in startup grants, with a view to becoming financially self sustaining in 2019.
