Post what the people you serve actually need

Not a general donate button. A list of specific things — a winter coat, a bus pass, a bed frame — that a giver claims and buys at the store, shipped to your registered address, with the delivery photographed back to the list.

Maya, age 7

Maya starts second grade in the new year. Her list is a winter coat, boots and a backpack she can keep.

Northside Youth Shelter501(c)(3) · EIN 47-0123456 · Portland, OR · Tax-deductible

No surnames, no faces, no addresses. First name and age only, and only if the person or their guardian agreed to that much.

Verification

Automated, usually seconds

Your EIN is checked against the public IRS register before your account exists. A name that doesn't match is flagged for a person to read — but the register is what decides, not paperwork.

  1. ApplyTwo fields: your legal name and your EIN. No documents, no bank details — we never hold money, so we never need them.

  3. Name matchWe compare what you typed with what the register calls that EIN. A mismatch is flagged for a person to read — not rejected outright.

Where the gift goes

No money ever passes through us

A giver claims the $40 boots on your list. Here is every step that gift takes — and the one thing that is true at every step: nothing is held by the platform.

Because we never touch the money there is nothing to hold, nothing to refund and no payout to verify. The record of each claim is kept for both sides — and the photos are the proof that matters.

Safeguarding rules you agree to

No identifying detail

First name and age at most. No surnames, no photographs of a recipient, no school, no address, no diagnosis.

Consent before posting

The person, or their guardian, agrees to what appears on the list. Recorded on your side, auditable on ours.

Needs, not wants

Items a caseworker would put on a plan. We will ask you to remove anything that reads as a treat with a story attached.

Proof within three weeks

Photos of the delivered item, captioned and dated. Faces obscured or out of frame.

Questions people actually ask

Who is eligible?

Registered 501(c)(3) organisations operating in the US, working directly with the people on your lists. Your EIN is checked against the public IRS register when you apply.

What does it cost us?

Nothing. There is no platform fee because there is no platform money — givers buy at the store directly, and affiliate links on those store links fund the service.

Who runs the account?

One named admin per organisation. They publish lists, post proof and see claims. Changing who that is takes an email to us and a check that they're authorised.

Are gifts tax-deductible?

That depends on your status and the giver's circumstances — goods bought at a store aren't the same as a cash donation to you. We keep the claim records so your counsel can decide; ask them, not us.

What stops a fake organisation?

Two things: the EIN has to resolve on the IRS register, and deliveries only ever go to the registered address on file. A scammer could claim to be you, but they can't redirect the goods.

What if a claimed item is unavailable?

Contact the giver from the claim record and agree a swap, or ask them to release the claim so someone else can take it.

Apply to post a list

Two fields to apply. Seconds on the register, not two weeks of paperwork. One named admin, and you're live.
