Call for Workshop Proposals for the Points of Light Conference | Oct. 27–Nov. 14
We create products and services that help volunteers, nonprofits/NGOs and corporations maximize their impact.
Points of Light reports and toolkits share best practices and innovative ideas to equip individuals and organizations to make a difference.
We connect great minds and awaken communities, so that together we evolve to address the world’s changing needs.
At the core of our philosophy is the belief that the most powerful force in the world is the individual who has realized their power to do good. At Points of Light, we inspire, equip and connect nonprofits/NGOs, businesses and individuals ready to apply their time, talent, voice and resources to solve society’s greatest challenges.
We help nonprofits and NGOs recruit, train and manage community volunteers.
We bring business leaders together to serve and solve global problems.
We connect individuals and families with local opportunities to make a difference.
Read stories about extraordinary volunteers, innovative nonprofits and community-minded companies, and get inspired by those who are making a difference in their communities and around the world.
