hashtagcharity, an international volunteering initiative to ‘SmartMatch’ those with technical skills to charity IT projects, launched on 9th April. At time of writing, there are several UK based projects amongst a mainly American list but geographic coverage is likely to change over time – hashtagcharity itself is based in Hungary.
The website uses a potential volunteer’s skill set and background drawn from their LinkedIn profile to create a ranking for a particular charity project relative to others. hastagcharity front page, or see the ‘How does it work’ page.
