Supporting the ShareTeam Mission

ShareTeam needs champions like you

Solving wicked problems requires wicked resources

Time.  Talent.  Treasure.  All these and more are needed to make meaningful headway against the kinds of problems that never seem to go away.  Here's information on current opportunities to support our mission.
Active opportunities for supporting the ShareTeam mission

How you can help

ShareTeam is actively seeking help in the following areas.

Charitable Foundations -
Program Related Investments*

Program Related Investments (PRIs) can be a particularly attractive option for private foundations to support the ShareTeam mission.  They differ from outright grants in that they involve the use of loans, equity investments and similar financing vehicles that are expected to be repaid or generate a return on investment (yet still qualify as charitable support for IRS purposes).

As an L3C, ShareTeam is structured for foundations to make such investments in our mission.  Our success is your success, in that your PRI investment in ShareTeam can be recycled (and even potentially grown), then redeployed to support the additional causes you want to help.

Individuals & Businesses -
Underwrite a  Community

Minimizing operational costs is crucial to our ability to provide low-cost services to organizations that actively partner with us.  Building and sustaining the communities we create to facilitate our work is a costly endeavor.  Underwriting these efforts in whole or in part is a great way for champions like you to support the ShareTeam mission.  

At the present time, we do not have a framework in place that allows underwriting support to be claimed as a charitable deduction.  We work with our community underwriters to identify options for recognizing and rewarding their support in meaningful ways.

Individuals & Businesses -
Volunteer talent

There's always a place at the table for people who wish to contribute their skills and talents to help our cause.  At the present time, here's a short list of areas of need that are especially relevant to our current work:

  • Community building & moderation

  • Technology / software engineering (Python, front-end development & AWS / virtual machine environments)

  • Data science & visualization

  • Marketing & public relations (design talent)

Connect with our volunteer coordinators if you're interested in helping.
* - IRS regulations require that private foundations devote 5% of their assets every year for charitable purposes.  Investments in L3Cs can be counted toward fulfilling this requirement, and allow Foundations to potentially earn a return vs. making an outright grant.
