Citizen Effect

By: Kanika Kakkar

Citizen Effect is driven by the idea that anyone can make a real and significant impact in the world. It is their mission to provide everyday citizens the tools and networks they need to work directly with communities in need around the world. 

They give Citizen Philanthropists the ability to choose their project, leverage their social networks, and communicate directly with their partner community. They also provide their field partners the tools they need to actively manage their projects so they can seamlessly share information with Citizen Philanthropists and directly report on the impact projects are having on the ground. 

Citizen Effect is a completely different approach to philanthropy. 

Citizen Philanthropists are powerful community builders. They help their partners across the world build more self-reliant and sustainable communities. But they also build stronger communities here at home by bringing people together for a common cause and promoting civic engagement. They believe giving and community building should be a central part of everyone’s life, not something left to weekends or annual drives.
