How it works.

  1. 1

    Give or volunteer

    The way you already do: give to a nonprofit directly, sponsor an event, show up for a shift.

  2. 2

    The nonprofit confirms

    Gifts show as verified once the nonprofit confirms them. Volunteer hours count right away.

  3. 3

    It shows up

    On your page, on theirs, and in the Hub, where your community sees it and cheers you on.

Browse by cause.

See the businesses and professionals backing the causes you care about.

Why Onward.

A local economy where giving comes back around.

Giving does the marketing

Choose businesses that give back and your dollars fund more giving. Discover ranks by giving, not ad spend: no billboards needed.

Giving back catches on

When you see a neighbor give, volunteer or sponsor, you join in. The Hub shows what your community is doing, so it spreads.

Real, not claimed

Nonprofits confirm gifts, and 501(c)(3) charities are checked against IRS records.

Joining is free for everyone: people, businesses, professionals and nonprofits.
