Community Source

We love technology projects that work to support social change and community efforts.

Jordan Ramos, one of our newest team members, is working on a database and mapping project to support environmental sustainability in the Santa Cruz community of California.

Below is our chat with Jordan about his project. He is thinking out loud with you to give an introduction to his idea and an insider look of the steps to start a community-based technology project.

We could not be more jazzed about the way we've been spending our days lately. Here at Aspiration we've been very pleased to embark on a whirlwind tour of our Bay Area.

Thanks to the generous support of the Mitchell Kapor Foundation we have had the opportunity over the past few weeks to engage with some great organizations in a listening tour.

Aspiration is delighted to be working with Mozilla on Mozilla Service Week, taking place September 14-21, 2009.

We'll be hosting trainings at the San Francisco Nonprofit Technology Center to train other nonprofits on essential online strategy and data security topics.

Our friends in London are hosting the second London Social Source event, in affiliation with the global Penguin Day movement.
