Nonprofits & foundations
Find the people who need you. Then prove it helped.
The vision for nonprofits: a shared, privacy-preserving ecosystem where organizations can discover need, match volunteers and donors, coordinate with peers and governments, and measure outcomes — with less administrative overhead.
What VNet could help a nonprofit do
Find people who need your services
Reach people through VV and participating organizations — by consent, not by data brokering.
Match volunteers with opportunities
By skills, interests, location and availability, with verified identities on both sides.
Connect donors with verified nonprofits
Donors give to organizations whose identity and status are verified, through VDonate.
Manage donations and volunteer programs
Campaigns, recurring giving, shifts, hours and thank-yous in one place.
Measure program outcomes
Report aggregated, anonymised outcomes that funders and the public can trust.
Collaborate with governments and peers
Share what you choose, for the purpose you choose, with an audit trail.
Reduce administrative overhead with VV
Drafting, reporting, scheduling and grant paperwork with an assistant bound by your policies.
Identify communities with unmet needs
Authorized, privacy-preserving signals about where help is missing — never individual files.
Prevent duplication of services
See, at an aggregate level, where two organizations serve the same need so you can coordinate instead.
VDonate
Giving, volunteering and visible impact.
VDonate is VNet’s application for giving and volunteering. In the Foundation vision it connects donors with verified organizations, lets volunteers offer skills and time, and shows people the real-world effect of what they gave — as reported by the organizations themselves.
Because every donor and volunteer is a verified VNet identity, organizations can rely on who they are dealing with, and people can rely on where their gift went.
Transparency and accountability
Trust that can be checked.
Verified organizations
A nonprofit on VNet is a verified organization with verified people behind it.
Auditable actions
Who accessed what, for what purpose, is recorded in tamper-evident logs.
Outcomes with sources
Impact figures carry the organization that reported them and the period they cover.
Consent on every exchange
The people you serve decide what is shared about them, and can see who saw it.
Questions nonprofits ask
Will VNet give us a list of people in need?
No. People choose to be found, with VV or through a participating organization, and consent to what is shared. What VNet could give you is a privacy-preserving picture of where need exists and a way for people to reach you.
What does it cost?
The Foundation’s vision is that core participation for qualified nonprofits should be sustainable without depending on the nonprofit’s own budget — see Sustainable impact. Terms will be published as programs open.
Can we participate in VNet World Corp itself?
The Foundation vision includes the possibility of qualified nonprofits and foundations participating economically in VWC where legally permitted. Read Participation & VWC ownership — and its disclosures — first.
