Featured Neighbor
This quarter, the Chicago room is spotlighting Project Exploration
Project Exploration provides hands-on STEM learning and mentorship to Chicago students from communities underrepresented in science.
We send attention their way. They didn’t ask us to, we just think you should know about them. A cause our members can back locally. Share their work with a parent, teacher, or business owner who would want to know. Visit their site to learn more and find the ways to get involved that fit you.
Our nonprofit partner
And the one this whole network is for: Best-Friend.org
Millions of healthy animals are put down simply because shelters run out of room. Best‑Friend.org is the world’s first decentralized nonprofit with a planned ending: it builds the system any community can install to fix that, then shuts itself down because it is no longer needed.
It never asks anyone for money. Sharing is the donation. The rooms build the businesses, and the attention they earn goes to emptying the shelters.
