Hello and welcome!

We launched Idealist in 1995 to connect good people with opportunities to do good. Please join us for the latest chapter in this journey. Watch an orientation or an update, or scroll down to see what this is all about.

Join our next virtual gathering.

A dream and an invitation: If we can gather 100,000 people who can agree on three simple things, we can build something both beautiful and unstoppable.

Is this you?

First, could you see yourself in these words?

"Working with others, in a spirit of generosity and mutual respect, I want to help build a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives.”

Second, what might happen, in our community and around the world, if once a month—on 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, etc.—we encouraged each other to do one thing for someone or something we care about?

Calendar

To share, teach, build…

...plan, invite, advocate—or simply celebrate the great but often quiet work that so many people are already doing for all of us?

Like this, for example. Or like this. Or this or this.

Why these dates? Because they seem to be very memorable, and because they “work” all over the world (3/7 is March 7th in some countries and July 3rd in others, but 7/7 works in both).

The whole idea

To see how you can co-create this movement, wherever you are, please watch this video.

You can also go deeper here, or join us for a live orientation whenever is best for you.

Watch in Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Urdu (all translations by AI).

Lastly, to make our values and our action visible, we can share a joyful symbol that each of us can use as creatively as we like. Like the recycling logo, but for freedom, dignity, generosity, and respect.

Logos

A better world is possible. We all know this in our hearts. So let's build it, one day and one community at a time. To get involved, please click on any of the following links:

Thank you! Together we can push the limits of what feels possible in our lives and in our communities. How far? Let’s find out.
