About

We are the meeting point, the nexus for donors to contribute directly to their community needs.

How did it start?

There are many unfilled needs in every community. Churches and charities, in particular, are stressed, and government agencies designed to help community are underfunded, with no long-term solution in sight. Many want to contribute to charities, but how much of their donations will ever reach the folks they want to help? The issue of trust is a major obstacle to giving to charities.

Participants

A participant is a school, agency, or community needs. All participants must register and be verified before being allowed to post needs. Participation is free.

If you are not a school or agency, you will not be allowed to post needs. Listed below are examples of who may qualify to post needs. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Animal Shelter- A legalized licensed shelter for animals.

Schools- Any type of education institution, such as grade schools, middle schools, high schools, and trade schools or colleges.

Agencies- Food banks, homeless shelters, hospitals, women’s shelters, and any local community needs.

Urgent Needs- Any above categories with a limited time for funding.

What percentage of the donation will reach the recipients?

92% of donations collected will reach the designated recipients. Aid2Assist collects 5% for operating cost, and 2.9% + 0.30 to cover transaction fees through paying service such as PayPal and credit cards.

Accountability and transparency

All funding transactions are handled by the paying service, PayPal. Donors can request transaction or payment history through PayPal. Participants may provide perks or rewards for donations.

Will donor’s information be known or published?

Donors will always have the choice of anonymity, or have their identity clearly shown. Some businesses or individuals may wish to advertise what they contribute to their communities. To facilitate that, we will provide testimonials on our website.
