Donor Program Overview
Everyone knows that the best recommendation for just about anything is the one that comes from a neighbor, friend, or relative. In other words, people in your community are like you, speak your language and understand what your asking for.
SageSource architects programs for your participation based on shared goals, shared work, and shared benefits.
Shared Goals
○ Community powered projects succeed when a broad group of contributors recognize the same need and agree on how to meet it…
○ e.g., If we all work to help Seniors escape socially isolation and loneliness it in our local community…no one will feel alone.
Shared Work
○ Projects can be broken down into smaller tasks and distributed among armies of volunteers for execution – “the architecture of participation”
○ Architecture demands structure: a review process that screens for the best contributions and avoids the “fork”
○ Efficiencies with technology enabled volutunteerism: virtualizing and distributing the process allows more people to participate in the process when they can.
Shared Benefits
○ Open project etiquette mandates that the social data be available for anyone to tweak and that improvements to the social data be shared with all
○ Adding a digital ecosystem architected for participation creating opportunities beyond a traditional social, economic and cultural opportunities.
