Background

I believe that many young adults want to spread good in this world, but it is difficult for us to get the word out. That can be very discouraging. Therefore, I wanted to create something that uplifts young philanthropists by connecting them with other talented people who share a similar passion.

How it Works

Meet Phil, the Philanthropist. Phil needs to raise money for a nonprofit he is building. He figures the most efficient way to get the word out is to use social media. The only problem is that Phil doesn't have a Twitter account and his mom has more Facebook friends them him. #ouch

Now, meet Shel, the Socialite. Shel is an up-and-coming model, who has thousands of followers on Instagram. Her problem? It's time for new headshots and she's broke. 

Sounds like quite the conundrum. But what if I told you that Phil is also a photographer? And what if in exchange for doing Shel's headshots for free, Shel agrees to post information about Phil's fundraiser? Problem solved!

But how would Phil and Shel ever find each other? They'll find each other through Barter for a Change. Barter for a Change is a website that connects philanthropists with socialites for a good cause. Philanthropists post bartering propositions outlining what good cause they need help promoting and what talents they can offer in return. Socialites will then be able to search through the propositions and "Accept" or "Negotiate" the ones they are interested in. Philanthropists will be able to either "Accept" or "Decline" the interested Socialites' offers based on their social media credibility. Once a match is made, the bartering can begin. 

Status
