Charity needs
Platform-curated needs from nonprofits and civic groups. Guilds can use a need as a starting point, then deliberate in their own trust circle before acting.
Riverside Literacy Project
Suggested grant: $2,400
The spring cohort has 35 students across three reading levels. The request covers bilingual readers, notebooks, pencils, and take-home books so families are not relying only on borrowed classroom sets.
Riverside Literacy Project
Recruit 4-6 volunteers for two Saturday reading sessions.
Riverside Literacy is adding two Saturday family reading sessions each month. They need small groups willing to read with children, help parents find appropriate books, and document which materials families ask for most often.
Civic Signal Local News
Suggested grant: $4,200
Civic Signal has reporters following school budget changes, but records fees and transcription costs are slowing the work. A small fund would cover requests, meeting transcripts, and document hosting for a three-part explainer series.
