About Community Credentials

Empowering nonprofits with decentralized digital badging to recognize achievements, build community, and showcase impact.

Our Mission

Community Credentials exists to democratize recognition and professional development in the nonprofit sector. We believe that volunteer contributions deserve meaningful, verifiable credentials that advance careers while building stronger communities.

Built on open standards and decentralized technology, our platform ensures that achievements remain permanently owned by the earner, not locked into proprietary systems.

Our Story

Community Credentials was born from the recognition that nonprofits needed better tools to acknowledge volunteer contributions and professional development.

The Problem

Nonprofit volunteers lacked verifiable credentials that could advance their careers while showcasing their community impact.

The Innovation

We leveraged ActivityPub and Open Badges standards to create a decentralized credentialing system owned by the community.

The Impact

Organizations worldwide now recognize and validate volunteer achievements with professional-grade digital credentials.
