As always, thank you for your part in saving the world,
Usorum
We’re Usorum. We create peer-to-peer and bottom-up conversations for nonprofit communities. We do this by hosting 'brainstorms' for nonprofit organizations, where they can ask their community to engage digitally around a common topic. For those nonprofits who want to, the brainstorm can also serve as a fundraising and a volunteer recruitment tool. Our second offer is an ongoing digital forum for the communities serviced across nonprofits, with a culture of people directly supporting each other and providing their techniques on adversity into a shared lived experience library. If you believe in community engagement, check us out at Usorum.com
