The platform wechange.de is made for people who want to achieve something together. The platform offers you numerous features for internal collaboration, networking with others in the community and increasing the visibility of your activities. You don't have to make any compromises in terms of data protection, security or sustainability. You can also grow unhindered on wechange.de, because your groups and projects can accept unlimited members. You pay for all of this as part of our solidarity financing model only as much as you can and want.
The legal form in which you are organized is of secondary importance. If you look on the map of wechange.de , you will find a variety of users, including:
As you can see, the variety of groups and projects on wechange.de is even greater than the number of functions. If you are not sure whether wechange.de is right for you, the best thing to do is try. You can simply register, create a group and test the individual functions thoroughly. If you have any questions, just get in touchWe would also be happy to help you with a training session to understand the functions and find out whether wechange.de is right for you.
Neuer Norden eV organizes and structures the development of a communal, common good-oriented housing project with around 100 parties in Stuttgart on wechange.de. The members mainly use file storage, joint editing of documents, appointment coordination and overview, and video conferences for hybrid meetings. Do you also need a digital home for your project? With us you will find everything in one place: secure, open source and common good-oriented.
As wechange cooperative, we not only offer the wechange.de platform, but we also develop and operate more than 20 community portals for various organizations and municipalities. You can imagine such a community portal as a copy or clone of wechange.de. The basic structure and functions are the same; this means that all of your users can work together in self-managed spaces on the portal, make their activities visible and network with each other. In addition, such a community portal has several advantages over wechange.de:
All of these advantages come with one disadvantage: the price. Setting up and running a new community portal creates costs for us, which we have to charge for (in comparison, we hardly incur any additional costs if additional groups use wechange.de, which is why we can work with a voluntary payment model here). The exact cost depends heavily on which features you want, so we cannot give a flat rate. If you tell us your requirements, we are happy to provide an estimate or offer. We can especially recommend non-profit organizations to keep their eyes open for suitable funding projects in the field of digitization (e.g. from the DSEE) to finance their own community portal.
If you have a tight budget, the number of your (potential) platform users is manageable (approx. double-digit range) and the functions of wechange.de are sufficient for you, then our tip is: simply use wechange.de. This means you don't have your own, tailor-made portal just for you, but you save yourself costs and effort. In addition, the community on wechange.de with many like-minded users can be valuable for networking and visibility.
However, if the benefits of having your own community portal are important to you and you have the budget (or can raise it through grants, for example), then we are happy to welcome you to our website wechange.coop where you find more information about our community portals. Please send us a message to arrange a demo appointment with us and to get all your questions answered.
