8 Gets2Give Jobs Hiring Near You

Company Description

Everyone has a stake in our social infrastructure, and Gets 2 Give is a Charlotte based nonprofit that is working to find a way to encourage and/or enable everyone to become active participants. 

We're rethinking scale and revisiting replication. Systems that put a premium on scale value control so the maximum amount of power and wealth flow to the few at the center. Replication values solutions that others can copy and adapt so power and wealth are distributed more evenly to many. Just as our financial portfolios need diversification to mitigate risk and thrive, our social, economic and cultural systems need diversity to thrive and maintain a healthy and functioning system as well.
We're creating a system, www.Gets2Give.com that works for the local community.

First, we want to challenge the way we, as a society, finance social good. Americans rely on nonprofits for food, shelter, education, healthcare and other necessities, and everyone has a stake in strengthening this social infrastructure. However, there is a growing gap in between the level of charity that we need and the level of charity that people, and the private sector, are willing/able to fill; thus, leaving the responsibility of that gap in the hands of the government. And even with the private sectors contributions,the majority comes from - you guessed it, those at the top. It's an endless popularity and monetary driven game, if you know the right people and have the right resources, you're good, if you don't, well - good luck. Who cares which need is greater - right? Wrong.The struggles nonprofits face are not the short-term result of an economic cycle - there's money, its just not available to everyone - they are the results of fundamental flaws in the way we currently finance social good.

Secondly, we want to reexamine how we, as a society, contribute to an entrepreneurial eco system. Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy. Nearly twenty-eight million strong, they employ more than 56 million workers and create two out of every three new jobs in America; That's 99.7 percent of all employers nationally, with more than 50 percent of all Americans under their employment. That's a really freaking big deal - hello people complaining about jobs and the economy, stop overlooking the real forces of the market. Who creates jobs? Small Businesses. Who stimulates the economy? Local Consumers. Why are we not focusing on them? Because that wouldn't be "compatible" with the current system our society functions in. So let's change the system!

Encompassing those two goals, our mission is two-fold: to lessen the need for government action and increase the overall efficiency of the charitable movement based on need instead of power and wealth; and to build and promote a self-liquidating system focused on sustainability for the community as a whole, where small businesses will be able to mutually reinforce each other and pioneer the changing of the face of business, to bring it back to the local level. Lets do this!
