Generocity’s mission is to help people stay informed, connected, and involved in their communities.

Each weekday Generocity publishes news and information about the people and organizations finding solutions to local issues. Working with a team of freelance writers, commentators, and photographers, we highlight the work within areas such as food, animal rights, civil rights, sustainability, education, arts, and anything having to do with the social good in the Philadelphia region.

In addition, Generocity has online tools designed to make it easy to recruit volunteers and donors who want to give back and get involved — post a list of your organization's volunteer opportunities, list your nonprofit's mission, post to the events calendar, and set-up online fundraisers.
