How it works

Do good. Show it. Inspire more.

Onward turns the giving you already do into something your community can see, and a reason for others to match you.

Questions.

Is Onward free?+

Yes, for everyone.

Does Onward handle donations?+

No. You give directly to the nonprofit. Onward shows the giving; it never touches the money.

How are gifts verified?+

The nonprofit confirms them, or Onward reviews a receipt. Volunteer hours are self-reported and nonprofits can dispute them. How verification works

Can I keep my giving private?+

Yes. Show your name and amounts, your name only, or nothing. You can change it anytime.

Is my gift tax-deductible?+

Not a tax receipt. Check deductibility with the nonprofit and your tax advisor.

Who can join?+
