Question Title

A way to filter or search for different types of causes and issues, e.g. the environment, women's rights

A way to filter or search for local, national and international causes and issues

A way to filter organisations, charities or opportunities by the amount of time they require of me

A way to filter organisations, charities or opportunities by the amount of money they require from me

I would like advice or information on the website about activism and things I can do to help causes or issues I care about

It would have to be free to use

It would have to be easy to use, e.g. mobile friendly, easy to navigate on any browser, clear language

I would hope or expect it to be a not-for-profit, independent and/or transparent enterprise, so I can trust the information it provides

I would not want the website to be biased towards or against any causes or issues, ie all issues, causes, organisations, charities and opportunities would have to be given equal priority

I would like the website to be free from advertising and affiliate links, so that no organisation, charity or cause could pay for more coverage or given higher priority

Please add any other suggestions.
