On the tails of Airbnb and Uber comes sharing economy company Reggalo, a peer-to-peer marketplace that directly benefits nonprofits. Using the growing popularity of online marketplaces - Reggalo is improving time, cost and connectivity in a socially innovative way that will change the way people give back to nonprofit organizations.

Companies and individuals alike are constantly looking for ways to give back. Outside of the monetary donation, it can be difficult to find a way to give back with what you already have. But, in this digital age your skills and expertise are all you need to be a philanthropist. Gone are the days of billionaires or corporations being the leaders in giving back. Reggalo,a San Francisco-based startup, allows people to raise money for nonprofits by providing local services in their spare time.

Now, anyone can be a part of changing the world. Reggalo provides value to individuals who do not have the opportunity to donate but are interested in high impact and low commitment volunteering opportunities. Anyone can be a philanthropist.

Using the same model as TaskRabbit, Zirtual and oDesk, Reggalo offers a marketplace for nonprofit organizations to encourage their volunteers to become more like freelancers who enjoy helping others. These "freelance volunteers" are defined by Reggalo as "Changemakers".

Reggalo co-founders James Rigor and Harrison McHugh believe that they can introduce a sustainable solution for nonprofits by operating as a social good company and hope to bridge the gap between profit and purpose. Reggalo is one of many companies operating on Near Me, a platform for peer-to-peer marketplaces.

You can participate by purchasing services from the Changemakers on Reggalo or by listing your services for hire. Spread the word, it’s time to use your skills to give back.
