How does HelpLink work for nonprofits?

HelpLink provides nonprofits with a platform to sponsor and post needs on behalf of the individuals they serve. Community members, businesses, and other donors can then fund those needs directly. HelpLink fulfills each need by purchasing the item or paying the bill — individuals never receive cash. Nonprofits get impact reports, donor tracking, and real-time dashboards at no upfront cost.

How much does HelpLink cost for nonprofits?

HelpLink is free for nonprofits to get started. There is no upfront cost, no credit card required, and no subscription fee. Nonprofits can post needs on behalf of their clients and engage their community without paying anything out of pocket. For organizations that want additional flexibility through a Reserve Fund program, a reduced 5% Fund Stewardship fee applies.

Can nonprofits connect with corporate donors through HelpLink?

Yes. When nonprofits post needs on the HelpLink platform, those needs become visible to businesses using HelpLink's corporate giving tool. Companies can direct their pledges and donation matches toward needs sponsored by specific nonprofit partners, creating a direct connection between corporate giving and community impact.
