Tourism, Local Economy, Technology and Nonprofits for Local Impact

in #nonprofit8 years ago (edited)



Are you a nonprofit or you want to help your local nonprofit to rise and fundraise? Now, you can.
Why this is on Steem now? Because this social network is just awesome and can help to achieve wonderful results worldwide.

Connecting Travelers, Technology, Local Economy and Knowledge

Here at The Biggest Idea, we strive to reinforce your positive impact.
To help nonprofits on worldwide basis, we have partnered with premium mobile development platform provider (longterm business friend) in order to allow registered nonprofits launch local fundraising program and grow cause awareness in minds of tourists in their region.


Simply put, you help tourists to navigate and enjoy your location. You can reach to local businesses to support your cause and get featured in the app, for example a restaurant being placed on your map and within a tour.
Travelers will get extra deals and information, local businesses will get more customers - and you will get awareness and funds you need for your cause projects.

What is the deal, dear nonprofits?

You will have an option to register into the dev platform of our partner, where you can develop a mobile app full of features for travelers around your location. You can build a feature-rich app, including Augmented Reality navigation to Points of Interest, prepare narrated tours, create an interactive mileage map, feature important&historic persons of your location, notify them about events through Push Notifications and many more (see features). Minimum viable product here is a mobile travel guide.

I am not nonprofit, but a reader.

Thanks for interest!
If you like this, please continue reading and do not skip the end as there is also something for you.

What are the rules and requirements?

This offer is only for registered nonprofits.
If you are root cause, feel free to follow us for updates about new opportunities for root causes.

You can launch your own social business opportunity.
We are not a charity, but we are not just another private business.
And you can generate funds while keeping the positive impact of your cause.
Every and all apps will be checked before publishing for content and they will be checked randomly as the time passes, if the app is being used for purposes of helping tourists, local economy and you - nonprofit org. If this will not be passed, your account will be suspended with prior notice, giving you chance to turn onto a good route again with actionable suggestions.

  • You can build 1 mobile app, initially for Android to keep it low-cost
  • The app must feature 1 registered nonprofit you are part of and be related to certain location
  • The org does have an account on Steem, with at least 1 article about the story, goals and results
