We help attract the right people for the job.
How can AMAIDI support NPOs?
Nonprofit organizations make an important contribution to society, people, and the environment every day. However, they often lack the time, human resources, or financial means to implement necessary projects, further develop their structures, or handle additional tasks.
AMAIDI helps nonprofit organizations make targeted use of volunteer resources. We help you find suitable volunteers and committed companies for specific tasks and projects—locally, internationally, or online.
Our services for nonprofit organizations are generally free of charge. Volunteers contribute their time, labor, and expertise without compensation. This allows you to receive support that might otherwise require funding for external services or additional staff.
Depending on the assignment, however, expenses for travel, lodging, meals, materials, or other necessary project costs may arise. These will be agreed upon in advance in a transparent manner.

Through AMAIDI, nonprofit organizations gain access to volunteer resources that can meaningfully complement their work and open up new perspectives.
Relief for Your Team: Volunteers help with specific tasks and free up additional capacity, allowing you to focus more on your core mission.
Take Advantage of Professional Expertise at No Cost: Gain access to expertise that may not be available in-house or that would be very expensive to procure from outside sources.
