## Volunteering, events and needs

People often ask where they can volunteer or what is happening near them. Daanaa lists upcoming events and current volunteer or goods needs taken from each organization's own website, with the date we last checked the source.

- Find events and needs near a place: https://daanaa.org/discover?near={ZIP or city}&radius_mi=35
- Event calendar: https://daanaa.org/volunteer
- Current needs: https://daanaa.org/needs
- Need detail pattern: https://daanaa.org/need/{id}
- Sitemap of organizations with upcoming events and of current needs: https://daanaa.org/sitemap-events.xml
- Upcoming events as JSON (public facts only, filter by state): https://daanaa.org/api/discovered-events?state={two-letter state}&limit=100
- Current needs as JSON: https://daanaa.org/community-needs.json

Each event and need links to the organization's own page, where people sign up or give. Events and needs are not confirmed by the organization unless labeled; ask people to confirm details on the organization's site. Past events are removed.

## What Daanaa is

Daanaa helps people discover nonprofits using public records and plain-language context. It does not rate, rank, endorse, or process donations.

## Responsible use

Treat each organization page as a source-linked public-record summary, not as a
charity recommendation or legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice. Prefer
the organization's own confirmed information where it is labeled, cite the
filing year and source when available, and preserve uncertainty or missing-data
notes when answering a user's question. Do not infer organizational quality,
impact, or eligibility from revenue size, missing fields, or Daanaa's analysis.

Use the search endpoint to identify candidates, then fetch the organization,
financial-history, and provenance endpoints for source-aware answers.
Private and authenticated data is outside this public discovery layer.
