Action Information

montage of different causes

Introduction & Overview

Action Information, Inc. is a tax exempt 501 (c)(3) public charity nonprofit corporation organized in Maryland. Our calendar will cover the full range of public interest issues and causes from local civic, PTA, scouting, governmental agency meetings to stream and park cleanups, to charitable fundraisers and electoral action (on a nonpartisan basis) to environmental and social justice causes. The Calendar will be free to use both for individuals and organizations who list their events.  Users who create profiles can opt to receive listserv-like email notifications when events are posted that meet their search criteria in terms of issues, organizations, age appropriateness, cost and location.

Initially, Action Information staff and volunteers will focus on making the Calendar as complete as possible for Montgomery County, Maryland. 

The Calendar will be primarily volunteer driven - we will seek individual and organizational assistance with the collection and careful uploading of event information into the Calendar database. 

Action Information will NEVER sell user or organizational information! 

Our Goals

Our primary goals are to make it easier for individuals to find ways to become more active, and to help public interest groups to find more support. 

As the Calendar is populated with events, you will be able to: 

  • Search to find events and causes near and dear to your heart;

  • Search to avoid scheduling conflicts for events you organize; 

  • Opt to receive hourly, daily or weekly emailed notifications of events based on your own personal interests and criteria;

  • Easily maintain your own personal calendar of upcoming events; and

  • Add events from your own organization, cause or local area.

We Need Your Help!   

We need public-spirited individuals and organizations to join with us.  You can help by:

  • committing to add your organization's events in a timely and accurate way (see "Partner Organizations" below.)

  • volunteering to upload calendar events for other organizations - potentially grouped by issue, or even local area.

  • telling others about this Calendar

  • "tabling" and leafletting with us at large public events to spread the word about the Calendar

  • donating.(link forthcoming!)

Partner Organizations:

Action Information is seeking groups, large and small, willing to pledge:

  1. to upload their events into the Calendar in a timely and accurate manner;

  2. to inform their membership of the existence of the Calendar once a quarter, and

  3. to let us list your organization publicly.
