POINT - One app to volunteer or give to any cause

Hi 👋 Product Hunt! We’re a team from Columbus, Ohio, who were pissed that we could invest in stock, book a room in Spain, or get our dogs walked with an app, but we couldn’t find an easy way to volunteer. So we built POINT to be like ClassPass for volunteering: one app to volunteer for any cause. Not to sound dramatic or anything, but because of COVID we’re in a nationwide volunteer shortage. Normally, nonprofits rely on older volunteers but they’re too high risk right now. It’s time for lower risk, younger people to mask up and help meet critical needs in our communities. We built POINT as an app, but took it a step further and also launched an entire nonprofit dashboard/CRM platform. Our mission is to bring people-power (through the app) and great tech (with our FREE dashboard) to the women leaders that run most of our local nonprofits. We want to give them the support they need to help rebuild our communities during and after COVID. If POINT isn't in your city - we want to be there. Join our launch team! Thanks so much to @kevin for hunting us! - Madison

Hi PH! I'm Steph and I'm Head of Outreach at POINT. I literally met @madisonmikhail (CEO @ POINT) at a soup kitchen when I downloaded the app to volunteer in Columbus. I love spending my time talking to nonprofits about their mission and seeing all of the ways POINT makes their job easier. One of my favorite orgs (shhh, don't tell any of the other hundreds of nonprofits I have favorites!) saves 15 hours a week using POINT to organize and communicate volunteers. Wanna collaborate? Let's do it. Hit me up - stephanie@pointapp.org

Love it! It's a wonderfull project. Congratulations for this work!

Hey, I am Alex. I started with POINT as a volunteer developer just for fun. Since then, POINT has grown more than I could have imagined. Now I am CTO, and it's more exciting than ever to be a part of the team and help people do more good. I hope you like the product, but let me know your thoughts. Cheers, (alex@pointapp.org)

What a fantastic way to evolve community connection and outreach! Congratulations to the team on their industry-changing approach to volunteering.

Wow! Thank you for this great idea. It really makes the world a better place:) Keep it up

It's hard not to love what @madisonmikhail and her team are doing with POINT. Finding volunteer opportunities shouldn't be hard. And POINT makes sure you can find any opportunity that suits you! Keep up the amazing work Madison and team. Best, Vincenzo

Pros: - Awesome concept, who doesn't love doing more social good :) - Design is awesome, super easy to navigate and it looks slick AF - You find exactly what volunteer experience is right for you through filters and preferences Cons: - Only available in limited locations, but that will hopefully change soon :)

Hey I’m Nick- Senior Dev at POINT, we’ve added a ton of new features to both the app and dashboard during COVID. Let me know what other features you want to see!

I'm immensely lucky to be involved with helping @madisonmikhail and the POINT team bring the vision of "instant, easy volunteer matching, tracking, and donating" to life. I can't think of a more customer-focused, forward-looking, and innovative group. Can't wait for POINT to come to Seattle!
