About 2CU

Who are we?

2CU is an organisation with mixed funding that provides service information for community support. From the beginning of 2009 it will become a registered charitable trust. First launched in 2007 to serve Northland, 2CU is developing a network of regional sites to link nationally. The engine has been evolved to provide easy access to all services, including events and resources, within a community.

Our aims

To provide a complete and easily searchable data base of all services in our community regardless of how those services are funded. A single platform to present to consumers all that is available in the community from government, private foundation, charitable trust or other non-profit organisation and to every commercially funded activity.

To provide the search engine freely to both providers and consumers of the listed services and to allow and encourage the listing of data and the sharing of that data.

To work with councils and community groups to encourage listing of community services and agencies that have not previously had a web based presence.

To provide a home for data sets that need to be organised and accessed within a search engine as a free service for tax funded and other non-profit organisations.

To show that it is possible for private and non-profit organisations to work together in a collaborative way for the good of the community.

To confirm the Maori proverb:

Ma to rou
Ma tōku rou rou
Ka ora ai te iwi.
With your basket
And my basket
The people shall prosper.
