Get Started:

• Upload a photo that promotes a charitable cause or brings awareness to a humanitarian need.
• View the latest photos, educate yourself on current issues, and discover organizations or ways to become involved.
• Search for charities and organizations in a particular area or for a specific cause.
• Read the latest articles about charities, humanitarian causes, and photography.

• Create a profile and provide information about their goals and projects.
• Educate the public on how individuals my get involved and make a difference.
• Create a "Nonprofit Network."
  Nonprofit Networks are designed to encourage informal dialogue between organizations of similar interests, focuses, or geographic location. The Network creates a link between two organizations (if you are a user, and have not uploaded an organization, you cannot establish a Network). Organizations can add any other organization to their Network, but both organizations must consent. Adding an organization to your Network provides a stronger connection than simply adding a user as a "contact." Once organizations are "networked," they are able to easily communicate in a private forum setting. This process allows for basic discussions of organizational goals and objectives, project techniques and strategies, funding opportunities, potential partnerships, or any additional topic of interest.

Organizations are encouraged to seek out other organizations with projects similar to their own and share ideas, successes, and failures. Through this process Collective Lens hopes to create a diverse resource for organizations around the globe.
