An Information Centre

We help you help others, for free

We specialize in gathering and presenting information so you can make quick, smart decisions. If you are looking for information, to talk through a problem, or turn an idea into a list of action items, then connect with us.

An information Centre for nonprofit professionals

We do this in three distinct ways -finding and sharing information, supporting your search for the perfect third party contractor, and taking on a project for you.

Information and Tool Sharing

We specialize in finding the unfindable and getting access to services that don’t seem to exist. By learning about other organizations in your area you can ensure your clients get the best possible care.

Service Review

The Service Review allows you to find third party contractors and vendors AND you may read reviews and ratings posted by their previous clients, your industry colleagues. So, before you spend what little money your budget has or take a proposal to the Board, you can check what your colleagues in the industry recommend!

Projects

We understand what it takes to turn an idea into a list of action items. If you’d like to get a project started, but don’t have the time, resources, or know how to begin, We can help you customize a plan to get you where you want to be.

We Need To Share Information

Our Stories

We work with incredible people around the world who are committed to making change, to making things better.

PARC

Initially, our work began helping PARC connect with volunteers and some website support. Eventually, it came time for PARC to rebrand and create a new website to tell their story, so we sat down together to make this happen. PARC provides support to their community in many ways, through education, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and support for sustainable local projects. It is important that people get the support they need to reach their full potential. We created this website for PARC so they can present their work to their online community and we design graphics for them to share their progress.

CARUWE

Recently we were contacted by Community Action For Rural Women’s Empowerment (CARUWE), an organization founded by women, run by women, to support women in Uganda and the DR Congo. A new website was a the top of their wish list. They had out grown their previous one and wanted a refreshing, sophisticated website that would reflect their organization. And voilà, www.caruwe.wordpress.com
We created this website so CARUWE can tell their story, share their work, and connect with their community and supporters; which was easy to do, given just how innovative, well organized, and responsive CARUWE’s team is!

"Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized, processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit."

Is Work From Home Invading Your Living From Home?

Jun 25, Services in Action

Balancing the benefits and drawbacks of working from home is tricky. One drawback is the clutter of work is still visible once you’ve ‘left the office’. Clearing your office situation at the end of each workday is an important action in switching work off.

But where do you put the documents generated throughout the day? The solution to clearing work clutter does not necessarily require an elaborate filing system that mimics the one in the office. It is enough to have just one folder.

Working From Home, With Kids

Apr 5, Services in Action

We have all been launched into a new way of living, but it means something different for each one of us. In a way, it has exacerbated each of our individual situations. Some are bored and restless; others are busier than ever.

And for many of us, this means working from home in the same space as their family. I have spent the better part of the last 6 years trying to figure this out and have learned a lot along the way. Here are my lessons:
