Mission
AidJoy collaborates with charities dedicated to overcoming dire problems within their own communities. We provide these extraordinary yet unknown charities with the tools and training they need to grow, then share their unique and inspirational stories with the world.
AidJoy’s hands-on approach to capacity building elevates partner non-profits in an organic and sustainable manner, using a wide range of services and expertise to maximize a cause’s effectiveness. Organizational development and strategic planning ensure that the tools provided are incorporated into a successful business model. The net effect is that AidJoy’s partner charities are enabled to impart the highest degree of positive impact possible.
Company Overview
AidJoy helps unsung charities worldwide solve dire problems within their own communities.
Description
Healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and protecting the vulnerable require business development, marketing, and technical resources. When charities spend money, time, and energy on these vital business matters, they divert attention from the frontline where they are most needed (and they are often outside their areas of expertise).
AidJoy is a charity comprised of volunteer business professionals using our skills to create a better world. We are videographers, photographers, leaders for corporate giving programs, marketing, and business development professionals who partner with charities to do the behind-the-scenes work they desperately need. AidJoy ensures the lasting success of charities, and makes the growth of frontline work possible.
WAS 1,500 People, IS 9,000 People
AidJoy has been focused on helping Project Amazonas, a charity dedicated to bringing care to the people of the Peruvian Rainforest via medical boats. This charity went from providing care to 1,500 people a year to 9,000 people a year with AidJoy's help. We are also overseeing the financing and construction of a medical facility in the region that will help 45,000 people. But there's still so much more to be done...
How You Can Help
AidJoy prefers to shine light on the charities it assists, but we too have to keep the doors open and the lights on. Between now and December 31st, we will be conducting an online fundraiser so that we can continue to spread the word about Project Amazonas, and take on a series of new micro-projects in the new year. Your support enables us to help other charities shine.
There are three ways you can help: donate, share the word, or start your own campaign.
Where Your Money Goes
$.90 of every dollar goes to AidJoy’s programs that directly benefit charities. Our network of volunteers donate their time and services, but AidJoy's work also has overhead expenses such as:
* Infrastructure costs including computer equipment and services
* Award winning documentary film production
* Fundraising and web development tools and software
* Food, shelter, and transportation for volunteers when they travel
* Equipment rental for photo and video shoots
* Terabytes of hard drives storing thousands of photographs
* All the other essentials involved in running an organization
We greatly appreciate your donation and support of AidJoy. Our behind-the-scenes heroes cannot continue to do their work without your help.
Together we will not let charities fail!
