After nearly a decade of empowering ordinary citizens to become powerful volunteers, IVolunteer International Inc., will join hands with 1 Inc. (“Golden”) to continue to strengthen volunteering around the world. This will add to the extraordinary volunteerism movement that is already thriving under Golden’s leadership.
Founded in 2017, IVolunteer International’s mission was to “make volunteering fun, easy, and equitable.” In action and in advocacy, the organization built a volunteer movement that transcended geographic and cultural boundaries, mobilizing ordinary citizens to become powerful volunteers in their local communities. Through the #BirthdayDeed campaign that empowered people to take a pledge to volunteer on their birthday, the Writers’ Council Fellowship that provided training to young leaders around the world, and local and global partnerships such as the Future We Want Model United Nations and the United Nations Department of Global Communications, IVolunteer International mobilized thousands of volunteers to create lasting impact. The organization launched IVolunteerNow last year, a mobile app for volunteers, which was positioned to transform the way volunteers mobilized and created impact in the United States and beyond.
IVolunteer International has contributed to creating a culture of volunteerism around the world. From the University Scholars Leadership Symposium in Malaysia, TEDx Savannah, Rotary-UN Day in New York, to U.N. Department of Global Communications Civil Society Youth Representatives Steering Committee, Volunteer Groups Alliance, and many other national and international platforms, IVolunteer International exposed the power of a mobilized community for good.
“IVolunteer International was built on the belief that anyone, anywhere, can create change. We are very excited to collaborate with Golden, an organization hyper-aligned to our mission, and to have their footprint around the world. We are confident that Golden will carry forward our mission, expanding opportunities for volunteers and organizations to collaborate in ways that drive real impact.”
Antwone Mohammed, President of IVolunteer International Inc. Board of Directors
Golden, a global leader in volunteer and donation management software and AI, will integrate IVolunteer International’s industry expertise into its expansive technology ecosystem and community of millions of volunteers and over 40,000 organizations. With a shared commitment to leveraging technology for social impact, Golden will continue high-level access to volunteer and donation opportunities, free software and globally compliant artificial intelligence infrastructure organizers in all sectors, and to continue building the world’s leading ecosystem for cross-sector social impact collaboration.
“IVolunteer International Inc. has organized a strong community of forward-thinking, collaborative, and enthusiastic volunteers and nonprofits, as well as served as a significant voice in the field of nonprofit technology. Golden is thrilled to partner with IVolunteer International to celebrate these leaders, further enable their missions, and demonstrate collaborative excellence, particularly in the Southeastern United States.”
Sam Fankuchen, Founder & CEO of Golden
