Our Mission: To connect all people in need and the programs that serve them (with dignity and ease).


Findhelp picks up where Uncle Sam leaves off by making it easy to find and apply for government and charitable social service programs. By organizing the world's human service program information, we make it easy for people in need and the people who help them to find help in seconds on https://findhelp.org.


We are looking for people who are driven to make the world a drastically better place and want to join our small group of thoughtful, committed citizens because they believe, as Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."


Our employees are aligned around this mission. That's why it is a requirement of our application process that you include a cover letter detailing how findhelp’s mission speaks to you. 


Please note: If our mission doesn't strike a chord with you that is OK. But please consider not applying. We are seeking people who come on fire after learning about what we do.

For positions outside of the Austin, TX area, remote work is acceptable if we do not have an office in your area.
