Common Purse was born out of the idea that philanthropy is in need of an overhaul. Much good work needs to be done in this world, but charities have become massive, impersonal and unwieldy affairs. Many of us have grown cynical over the years watching our donations be misspent or even disappear into black holes of administration fees, huge salaries and failure to oversee the final outcomes.

We want to support the needs of small and nimble do-gooders; people and projects that are real and who will get the job done…with integrity, insight and innovative approaches.

Our goal is to help find, sponsor and connect worthy projects with great people who are creative, motivated and intelligent in their giving. We believe that small, personal and more transparent enterprises can often better serve the needs of their communities.

We believe that uncommon ideas and fresh ways of doing good will result in less waste of time and resources, more transparency and even more fun. If you're tired of the same old drill, come join us on a journey of discovery... Dare to give wisely. Dare to give freely. Discover your inner philanthropist!

Think you've got a better idea? Nurture your dream here... Pursue your passion with the 'Purse'!

The Sarajevo Project

I worked in various clinics in Sarajevo and in village homes offering massage therapy for concentration camp survivors. My specialty is in post traumatic stress bodywork. The Bosnian people captured my heart. They have been through so much. It was the most demanding, yet rewarding experience of my career. I would like to build on that experience. We would like to establish a year round clinic to offer services and to train both local and volunteer therapists.

It was the most rewarding experience of my career. I would like to build on that experience.
