Step 1
Explore stories that matter to you
Browse specific fundraising stories from reviewed U.S. nonprofit partners. Each story identifies the organization, the intended use of funds, progress, and key giving information.
We expand access to trusted charitable giving through reviewed U.S. nonprofit partners.
Donate helps people discover specific stories, understand the nonprofit partner behind them, and stay connected through updates after giving.
Our Approach
Donate’s work combines nonprofit partner review, story-based giving, and responsible technology to make charitable support easier to discover and understand.
We identify and review U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) organizations supporting women, children, and families. Partners provide program and story information; Donate presents it in a consistent, donor-friendly format.
Donors can explore specific stories, review the nonprofit partner and intended use of funds, and return for updates. Modern and AI-powered tools support discovery and navigation without replacing human judgment or nonprofit responsibility.

For Organizations - How Partnership Works
Donate partners with U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) organizations supporting women, children, and families. There is no fee to apply or to list approved stories.
Step 1
Apply to become a partner
Tell us about your organization, mission, current programs, and the communities you serve. The application starts the review and partnership conversation.
Step 2
Organizational review
We confirm IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status and review publicly available organizational information. Additional documentation may be requested before fundraising features are activated.
Step 3
Build your first story
Your organization provides accurate program details, intended use of funds, images, and supporting information. Donate helps organize the material into a clear donor-facing story.
Step 4
Publish and report back
After review, the story can be published on Donate. The nonprofit partner remains responsible for program delivery, beneficiary eligibility, use of funds, and timely updates.
