About the Good Network Foundation

We believe that there’s so much good on the Web! We explore and promote the idea of e-volunteering since 2009. We launched the www.e-wolontariat.pl website (available also in English), we organized four Polish and two European editions of the ‘Discover e-volunteering’ competition through which we gathered over 140 good e-volunteering practices (available here: http://www.e-wolontariat.pl/good-practice. It’s the 1st database of that kind in Europe) and created a community of e-volunteers and organizers of e-volunteering projects from whole Europe.

Who are we?
