What is Naples Social Action?

Naples Social Action is a free resource for the entire Greater Naples community, established and maintained by the Coine Foundation. We saw a need and, because of our strong bias for action, we set out to fill it that same day (Sunday, February 18, 2007).

Naples Social Action is the venue for every single approved nonprofit in our area to list their upcoming events and post some details. Contact information is provided for volunteers and donors to learn more about the events that interest them.

Naples Social Action exists to match donors and volunteers with the good causes that best fit their needs in terms of interest, schedule, level of commitment, and level of financial giving.

This web log is a temporary measure: as mentioned, we didn't want to wait to get the word out until everything was perfect - there are too many good causes that need your help right away!

For the long haul, we have already begun construction of a web site that will allow members of registered nonprofits to post their events quickly and easily. Members of the community will be able to donate and/or volunteer online through the site, and also shop Amazon.com - a great "free" way to give while you shop.

No matter your interest, if it is happening in or near Naples, you can find it at Naples Social Action!
