Trying to find a fun, simple charity event or volunteer activity can feel like walking through a jungle. Blindfolded. With your shoe laces tied together.
Through having direct partnerships with 300 charities we have our finger on the pulse of what's happening in the world of doing good. There are thousands of events and activities out there, we focus on ones we think you are going to like best.
You record your work history on your resume, your thoughts in a journal and your doodles on the back of your hand. When you join LeapAnywhere you can start to build your Resume of Good in your Leap Profile.
After you sign up, your Leap Profile stores your past and upcoming charity events, volunteering activities and online actions.
When all these events activities are recorded in one place it not only inspires you to do more, it inspires other people to do more.
Like on Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin, you can make your Leap Profile public so other people can see it, or you can make it private.

LeapAnywhere is 100% free for individuals and charities to join. Companies can access a premium paid-for product that aims to at least double a company’s current levels of employee participation in charitable activities.
Most of the events and volunteer activities are free. Some have a suggested charitable donation which you arrange with the charity or make a payment online. We don't handle any of your charitable donations and don't take a fee from them.
We launched in London in June 2009 and are excited to be heading to the US Spring 2010 (New York, Boston, Seattle, Austin, San Francisco).
LeapAnywhereTV is an online TV-channel which films behind-the-scenes and entertaining action from celebrity charity events, homeless shelters and anywhere in-between.
Going to one fundraiser or helping out at a soup kitchen is not going to change the world. We hear you. But it's not just about what one person gives. It's about what happens when many people give. If enough of us come together in action and get off the sofa or out from behind our desks and start to give time and a bit of money to causes we care about, culture will shift. The world will change. And if you're having fun and doing good at the same time, what have you got to lose?
A Leap is pretty much anything that is fun and benefits a good cause. It can be something seemingly trivial, like attending a music gig where a proportion of the ticket price goes to charity or something requiring a significant commitment like volunteering in Africa.

Leap is the home of doing good, having fun and getting rewarded.
With the help of our 350+ charity partners, we search night and day to find and recommend fun, hassle-free charity events and volunteering activities in your area, for you to attend, support and enjoy.
So how does it work? Like this: Just pick an event you’d like to attend, invite friends to join you (via Facebook and Twitter), keep an eye on what causes your friends are supporting, and get rewarded multitudinously for doing good.
Do good; feel amazing – it’s the Leap effect.
