At Idealist, we recognize that impact comes in many forms! Our new community group category gives organizations that aren’t formally registered the space to shine.
A community group can be any organization with a social mission that doesn’t fall into our other categories. Community groups may include mutual aid groups, common interest groups, grassroots organizations, and more.
These organizations can post jobs, internships, volunteer opportunities and events that support their mission.
Community groups must be fully operational, non-commercial, and meet our community guidelines and Terms of Service.
Idealist does NOT include:
- Any organization that promotes hate or violence
- For-profit or nonprofit military or intelligence organizations
- Organizations with sole purpose of vending to or supporting military or intelligence organizations
- Any organization that engages in violent use of force
- The federal Department of Homeland Security
- Personal projects or webpages
- Organizations that are still in the planning stages
- Any for-profit company which has the primary purpose to sell or distribute tobacco, weapons, or firearms.
