Why I cooperate with NGOs – and what this has to do with my story
This post is about an idea that has been occupying me for some time – and that I now want to implement concretely: I plan to donate 50% of my income from web design projects for a certain period to an NGO that works in the field of trauma, mental health, or social healing. I’m currently looking for suitable cooperation partners.
What drives me is not the desire for self-marketing, but the question: How can I shape my work so that it’s not only individually meaningful, but also contributes something structurally?
This question is not theory for me. It comes from my own life reality.
It took me many years to understand how deeply personal traumas are interwoven with social conditions – and how strongly collective injuries impact our biographies. I’ve experienced how difficult it is to maintain principles under precarious conditions. And I’ve learned how much clarity can emerge when you stop seeing yourself as an isolated individual case.
The idea for NGO cooperation emerged in a transitional phase of my life – between old uncertainty and new direction. I decided to consciously put my web design skills in service of a larger context: I work with people and organizations that deal with trauma, change, and social consciousness. The planned donation cooperation is a concrete expression of this attitude.
I’m currently looking for NGOs that fit my approach content-wise and are interested in genuine, respectful collaboration. I’m not looking for short-term PR, but for sustainable relationships – on equal terms.
This blog will document the process: How does the idea develop? Which organizations show interest? What works, what doesn’t?
I invite everyone who’s interested in this intersection – between design, healing, and social responsibility – to follow this journey. Maybe a connection will even emerge.
