Posting a Need on HelpLink
Sometimes asking for help can be hard. HelpLink makes the process simple and safe.
Ask For Yourself or Another
HelpLink allows you to post a need for yourself, or on behalf of another. You may make up to four asks each month. Our verified nonprofit partners may ask on behalf of their communities with no limitations.
Enter Some Basic Information
We'll ask for some basic information, both about the need and the recipient. We don't share this information, but we do use it in aggregate for reporting purposes to prove tangible impact in your community.
Wait for HelpLink Review
Every ask is reviewed by HelpLink staff for basic content and to price the need. After our review is complete, we'll publish the need under your profile to the community for donations.
