Our mission is simple, to connect people with nonprofits in their communities using search tool designed to make living and giving simpler. Our vision is a world where finding help and serving others is easy. While the path forward is ambitious, we are up for the challenge.

Our Founder, Stephanie Morrison, has been dreaming about Giving Connection for over a decade. As a public defender, she witnessed the devastation and trauma inflicted on those surviving poverty. Poverty, systemic racism, homelessness, mental health, addiction, immigration concerns, sexual trauma, childhood trauma and physical violence were among the list of issues facing each client navigating the criminal justice system. She often acted as a social worker, connecting her clients to the resources they desperately needed. But she knew there had to be a better way to put the power and autonomy back in the hands of her clients before their lives were in crisis.

Communities are best positioned and most knowledgeable about how to help their members. We believe that people know what they need and nonprofits are already doing the hard work, they just need a place to connect. We envision Giving Connection as a one stop shop for all your philanthropic needs - from beneficiaries to volunteers, donors to supporters. This search tool would form the foundation to help nonprofits and communities build stronger connections with people.

But we can't do it alone, we need you help!
