Be Part of the Launch. Fund Your Mission.
Nonprofits struggle to build lasting digital communities on today's social platforms. Algorithms limit who sees their content, forcing them to pay for reach. Platforms keep supporter data, blocking direct connection and long-term relationship building. And while nonprofits generate enormous value for these platforms, they never share in the equity they help create.
As1 is the first fully financed social platform built for the people, by the people, where mission-driven organizations can grow their audience, own their supporter relationships, and share in the platform's founding equity. On As1, you're not just "on" a platform, you're a stakeholder in it.
On As1 your mission earns real support and you keep the connection with every supporter you reach.
Ahead of As1's launch, we want to feature your nonprofit's vertical video content in our feeds, giving you visibility and a real stake in what we're building. Your organization keeps control over your community data, decides how it's used, and earns ongoing donations from it just for joining and uploading your content.
Who It's For
You
Mission-driven nonprofits, large or small, working in social justice, climate action, youth empowerment, health, arts, education, or other causes. If your content supports principles that move people to act, we want YOU on our new platform.
Us
As1 Social is the first video platform where communities *not corporations* own the platform, control their data, and earn from it. Launching this Fall, As1 gives nonprofits what today's platforms don't: guaranteed ownership of supporter relationships, direct visibility in Gen Z and Millennial feeds, and built-in recurring donations through the earnings of every follower you bring. Instead of renting space on someone else's platform, your organization becomes a co-owner in the system itself.
What's Happening
We're inviting a select group of nonprofits to help shape As1 from day one, establishing their profiles and filling the feeds with the nonprofit's pre-existing content. By sharing your existing videos now as a Founding Nonprofit Partner, you'll:

Why It Matters
Current platforms aren't built for organizations and creators. They're built off their backs. They profit from your content, time, and data, without asking. Algorithms control what you see and who sees you. And power stays concentrated at the top.
As1 flips the script:
- 100% of founder equity goes to creators and users, and 10% of the value they create goes directly to charitable causes like yours
- You own your audience, your content, and your data
- You earn equity-interests, influence, and visibility from your early participation
- You lead values-driven dialogues, shape platform policies, and play a visible role in governance decisions from day one
