We pay their bills.

Fund a specific need for a verified single-parent family — or if you're struggling, ask your community for the help you need. Every dollar goes directly to a real family.

Early stage

We're building this
alongside you.

GiveNest is in its early days — and that makes every person here part of something rare. This platform didn't start with millions in funding or a big team. It started with a belief that families in need deserve more than a donation page, and donors deserve proof that their dollars actually landed.

Every contribution you make, every family you help, and every bit of feedback you share teaches us what to build next. You're not just funding a family — you're helping shape a platform that will serve thousands of them.

For families in need

Struggling to make ends meet?
You're not alone — and asking is okay.

GiveNest was built for parents like you. If you're a single parent facing a hard month — behind on childcare, running low on diapers, choosing between groceries and the electric bill — you can request help right here.

Post one specific need. Our community and partners fund it. The money goes straight to the provider — never to you — so there's no shame, no paperwork, and no strings attached.

🔒

Private & confidential

Your full name and story stay protected. Only your first name is shown.

💳

You never touch the money

Funds go directly to your childcare center, pharmacy, or store.

🤝

No repayment, ever

This is community support, not a loan. Ask for what you actually need.

How GiveNest works

1

A family is verified

Parents apply and prove their identity. We review every request before it goes public.

2

You pick a need

Choose a specific essential and fund all or part of it — starting at a few dollars.

3

We pay the provider

Childcare goes to the daycare. Groceries get ordered. Blankets get shipped. Never cash to hand out.

4

You see it delivered

You get a confirmation when the need is fulfilled. Real proof, every time.

Please note: GiveNest is a mission-driven for-profit company, not a charity. Contributions support individual families and are generally not tax-deductible. A small platform fee keeps GiveNest running, prevents fraud, and lets us help more families.

For single parents

How to get support for your family

No fees. No cash. Just your specific need — paid straight to the provider.

1

Create a free account

Sign up as a parent in under 2 minutes. There are no fees and no costs to you, ever.

2

Post your need

Tell us what your family needs — childcare, groceries, clothing, blankets, school supplies, and more — and name the provider who should be paid.

3

Verify your identity

Complete a quick ID check. This builds trust with donors and keeps the platform safe for everyone.

4

Provider gets paid

Once your need is reviewed, approved, and funded by donors, we pay your provider directly. You'll get a confirmation when it's done.
