People want to help, we want to make it easy.
What we’re not
Not for Profit.
OKDOKIND was set up by volunteers as a not-for-profit. We saw the potential of a social platform dedicated to kind action and so we built it. We believe its important that nobody profits financially from your kind actions. We don’t answer to shareholders and any revenue generated will always be reinvested in generating kind actions through the platform and community.
Not for Sale.
Your data is not for sale. We won’t allow advertisers to target you based on information we collect. All costs to date have been met by the volunteers who set up OKDOKIND. In the long run we plan to fund hosting, support, development etc. by selling bespoke platform services to small and medium businesses who want an easy way to run CSR programs. See here for more info
Not for Judgement.
Believe us, we know life is hard. We had the idea for this platform several years before we got it live because people got sick or had kids or moved jobs… stuff got delayed. If right now you can’t do a whole lot, we completely understand. Your first duty is to be kind to yourself. We’ll be here and ready when you are and in whatever capacity.
What we’re for
For Kindness.
Kindness always matters. Kindness is never wasted. Simply taking kind actions is one of the most positive things a human being can do. In chaos theory, a butterfly flapping its wings can lead to a hurricane on the other side of the world. We have a Kindness Theory - every kind act, has an affect. It is a vote for a kinder you, a kinder community, and a kinder planet.
For Action.
Millions of us want to help but we’re too overwhelmed to know where to start. OKDOKIND makes it easy to turn your kind intent to action. On our platform, you can find lots of ways to take immediate positive action and we continually work with charities and volunteer organisations to post more opportunities to DO KIND. We want you to always find the right action for your interests and life circumstances.
For Urgency.
If we are to tackle the greatest challenges of our time - climate crisis, loneliness, poverty, war, growing distrust of one another - the place to start is with our own actions, right now. If you have 5 minutes a day or 2 hours once a week, then let’s go! To do kind now in a small way is better than a big kind act in some far off future. Get started, get your friends started, get in the fight for a kinder world.
How it works
Connecting people to actions
We have a large and growing library of actions for you to DO KIND and make a difference in the world. You can search yourself or tell us about yourself (your interests, skills, etc) and we’ll recommend actions to you that we think are a good fit. Our goal is to help you DO KIND, easily, in the right place, at the right time for you.
Gamified.
To DO KIND consistently, it has to be easy and fun. If you’ve used a language learning or fitness app, chances are you’ve used a gamified system. Points, badges, leagues, quests, cool progress bars, community support and reward… these are all aids to your own intrinsic motivation to DO KIND. To help you build the habit of taking kind action as part of the growing OKDOKIND community.
Community.
We are in the grips of a loneliness epidemic: community matters. It also matters that the community should exist in a not-for-profit domain that’s sole focus is the betterment of the world and the individuals in the community. The platform supports forums, team actions and competition, with an aim of connecting people who want to DO KIND.
