🚧 OrgReach: Building Something Bigger

πŸ›  Where We Are Now

OrgReach is just getting startedβ€”but we’re dreaming big.

  • βœ… Secured our domains: OrgReach.org, OrgReach.com, and OrgReach.tv

  • βœ… Established a clear mission and created foundational bylaws

  • βœ… Launched early design prototypes on WordPress

  • βœ… Drafted our platform architecture and development roadmap

  • βœ… Begun outreach for partnerships, grants, and early supporters

But we’re being real:
We haven’t filed our 501(c)(3) status yet. We don’t have funding. And we’re not hiding that.

What we do have?
A bold vision, serious tech experience, and a deep commitment to building a tool the nonprofit world actually needs.

🎯 Our Mission

To empower mission-driven organizations, small nonprofits, and aligned creators with ad-free, accessible tools to stream content, build community, and stay independent from algorithmic control and surveillance capitalism.
