About Ground Zero

Started with #HiringInSocialSector digital campaign, we tried bridging the access of information gap between nonprofit and potential candidates, we realized that the problem is “real”, it wasn't just about connecting dots; it was about nurturing a relationship between those who wanted to make a difference and those who needed them the most. Thus, Ground Zero was born. With a mission to bridge the talent gap, we set out to cultivate a thriving ecosystem of skilled professionals dedicated to the nonprofit sector. Our journey has been one of growth and learning, each step teaching us more about the unique challenges and incredible potential within this community. As a young organization, we've been fortunate to partner with over 50+ nonprofits, each with its own unique mission. Our journey is just beginning, and every day brings new experiences and lessons. With each nonprofit we support, we inch closer to a world where every mission finds its champion. Together, we are not just closing the talent gap—we are building a community driven by the power of good
