I’ve been getting really excited about Ning’s potential for non-profit projects. What I hadn’t considered is the potential for those who want to lend assistance where they can but aren’t yet involved in a particular non-profit. It was Adam Wright who brought this to our attention with his fantastic App, Code For A Cause. It’s a clone of our Swap Services App, but focused on putting web designers and developers in touch with the non-profit projects who need them. Check it out, there are already several worthy projects and a whole bunch of volunteers signed up, with kudos coming in from NetSquared and Wired’s WebMonkey.

And if you have the talent and time to spare, add your hat to the ring, working on these projects is a great way to make a difference.
