Meet Brittany Martin Graunke, Founder & CEO of Zealous Good. While working at United Way of Metropolitan Chicago she discovered a vexing issue - many people want to be charitable but money is tight.
Her solution? Donate items people no longer need to groups that do. Items include furniture, electronic equiptment, clothes and more. How? By creating a website connecting donors to local non-profits with matching needs. In under 2 years Zealous Good has connected donors with over 150 non-profits, enabling $468,540 in contributions.
Get a jump start on your spring cleaning! Consider quality items you no longer use then hop online to be linked with deserving organizations serving others. Check out the easy to follow guide. Are you affiliated with a non-profit that could use donations? Start linking with donors now.
While Zealous Good is based in Chicago, anyone anywhere can donate gift cards or ship items their way. Inspired? Organize a donation drive where YOU live or become an online advocate. Simply support Zealous Good on Facebook and share this post with friends, family and co-workers. It's easy and cost only your time...maybe 5 minutes.
Brittany's courage and creativity turned an idea into action. The greater Chicago area is a better place to live and serve others thanks to her dedicated team.
