Celebrating Freelancers with Values
A platform to celebrate freelancers with values and connect them with ethical businesses that need help growing in a sustainable and meaningful way.
how it all works
Take the freelance values pledge
Our pledge encourages you to be intentional with your talents and mindful of where your work lands. When you sign up, you’re joining a community of freelancers who believe in using their skills purposefully while building successful businesses.
Get Listed in Our Directory (100% Free!)
Once you’ve taken the pledge, your profile will appear in our searchable directory where you can showcase your expertise, specialties, and guiding values. This platform will always remain completely free–no hidden fees, no premium tiers, no subscriptions.
Connect Directly with Like-Minded Clients
When potential clients discover you in our directory, they’ll reach out through your preferred contact method. Your conversations and client relationships remain entirely yours, with no commissions or intermediary involvement.
Beyond the directory, take part in our free Slack community where you can share experiences, ask questions, and connect with other freelancers who understand that being a happy freelancer includes both financial stability AND ethical satisfaction.
Ready to put your values front and centre?
Take The Ethical Freelancer Pledge!
Freelance Values exists because there are brilliant people out there who genuinely care about the impact of their work, folks like you. When you take our pledge, you’ll connect with other freelancers who share your approach to work, while adding your name to our growing community.
Oh, and you get a rather snazzy badge for your website too (though that’s entirely optional, no pressure).

Who is this platform for?
Freelancer Values is for freelancers who want to align their work with their values. If you choose projects that reflect your beliefs and want to be part of a community that supports ethical, meaningful work, this is for you.
Does it cost anything to join?
No! Freelancer Values is free to use and will always remain free. We believe that access to meaningful work and belonging to a values-based community should not come with a price tag.
What kind of freelancers can join?
All freelancers are welcome, writers, designers, developers, strategists, and more, as long as you are committed to working in alignment with your values.
Do I have to work only with ethical or impact-driven businesses?
No, but we encourage freelancers to be intentional about who they work with. Every project is a statement of your values, and we want to help you find clients who align with yours.
How do clients find freelancers on this platform?
Businesses and organisations can search for freelancers based on their skills and values. Just go to the directory page and select the skills you are looking for, or search by cause if you prefer.
