Action Without Borders (also known as Idealist) is a non-profit service organization based in New York City, founded in 1995 by Ami Dar. The group has offices in the United States and Argentina.

History[edit]

Founder Ami Dar was interested in solving social and environmental problems in the world since childhood.[1]

In 1985, after his mandatory army service in the Israeli Defense Forces, while Dar was traveling in South America, he got the idea to use modern technology (phones, PCs, and fax machines) to build a network that would make it easier for people to connect and act on issue that concerned them. Dar was 24 at the time.[1]

In 2016, Idealist closed its Portland, Oregon office, laying off two-dozen people who worked there.[2]
