Do you want to tell people about the work that your organization does? Do you know an organization that is looking for more supporters? WiserEarth makes it easy (and free) for you to share the important work you do:

Adding Your Organization to WiserEarth: By listing your organization in the WiserEarth directory, you will be bringing greater visibility to your work. Over 550,000 people -- representing 3.7 million page views -- visit the site each year. This helps your organization generate greater visibility among more than 13,000 foundations and 27,000 WiserEarth members.

Creating Connections: Once you list your organization, you can invite existing staff and supporters to connect to your listing. Other WiserEarth members who may have heard, learned of or worked with your organization can also connect. Moreover, you can connect jobs/events/resources to your organization's listing.

Increasing visibility by participation: As you contribute more content, edits and comments throughout the site, people will see your name and picture in the contributors section of each page. They'll naturally want to know more about you and what you do.

Search Engines find these pages: WiserEarth pages are optimized for major search engines like Google and Yahoo. It's not uncommon to see WiserEarth pages come up on top of the search results.
