Donations

Fund a Neighbor. Three taps. Done.

Monthly giving is the default — because $10/month buys groceries for a week, $25 covers a child's dental access, and $250 funds a Block Captain. Every dollar goes on the public ledger within 7 days.

$10/mo

Default ask

Small monthly gifts are framed first because they keep Tuesday Porch stocked.

$250/mo

Visible local impact

Named Block Captain support is the clearest way to show exactly where the money landed.

7 days

Ledger promise

Every gift should become a public line item fast enough to reinforce trust.

Donation paths

Choose the route that matches how you want to show up.

Monthly support stays first, place-based giving stays visible, and one-time help still lands with the same public proof.

Recurring support

Groceries move fastest when the gift repeats before Tuesday morning.

Become a Neighbor

$250 per monthNamed local impact

Named local impact

This is the most visible path for donors who want a real street-level match.

Fund a Block Captain

Your $250/month covers one Block Captain's stipend so they can serve their neighborhood full-time. You'll receive a quarterly photo and update from that Captain personally.

Matched to a named Block Captain in your chosen county
Quarterly photo + personal update from your Captain
Your name listed on the Captain's public profile (opt-out available)

Best for

Named local impact

Best for place-based donors who want one visible person and one visible neighborhood attached to the gift.

$1,000 one-timeVisible infrastructure

Infrastructure gift

A launch gift turns into a public map pin, supplies, and weekly operations.

Launch a Neighbor Hub

One $1,000 gift opens a new Neighbor Hub in a Florida ZIP code, puts it on the public map, and starts weekly distributions.

Named recognition on the Hub's public page (opt-out available)
Announcement in The Ledger newsletter
Hub active within 60 days of launch gift being received

Best for

Visible infrastructure

Best for donors who want to create a permanent public service point, not just fund one short-term need.

Dedication option

Tribute gifts stay personal while still funding immediate family support.

In honor or in memory

Attach a dedication to your gift. The honoree (or their family) receives a notification. Your contribution still goes directly to families in need.

Fund visible outcomes

Give once. See it posted.

Amounts should answer the first donor question before checkout begins: what does my number do this week?

Outcome tiers

Suggested amounts now map to visible outcomes.

The amount grid needs to read like concrete action, not like a pricing menu. Each number should point to one visible result.

Why this matters

Amounts should read like outcomes first and donation mechanics second.

Why this matters

Named gifts can follow a Block Captain or a Hub when donors want place-based accountability.

Why this matters

One-time gifts still need the same ledger clarity as recurring donors.

Suggested amounts

Start with the outcome you want to fund.

This works better as a fast comparison list: recurring support first, one-time hub launch last, with each number tied to one visible result.

Checkout and receipts

The payment flow should feel as clear as the mission.

From wallet tap to tax receipt, donors should understand what powers the gift, what arrives instantly, and when the public ledger confirms the result.

Payment rails

Primary rail

Stripe Checkout and Billing

Primary processor for all gifts. Monthly giving is powered by Stripe Billing with self-service cancellation.

Fast wallets

Apple Pay and Google Pay

One-tap wallet payments available at checkout — no card number required.

Lower-fee transfer

ACH bank transfer

Available for gifts of $500 or more — lower processing fees mean more of your gift reaches families directly.

Secondary path

PayPal

Secondary payment option for donors who prefer it. Stripe remains primary.

Receipts and compliance

Receipt within 60 seconds

Every gift triggers an automated tax-deductible receipt. Your receipt includes GFF's EIN and a link to the public ledger.

Annual giving summary by January 15

Every donor receives a complete giving summary for tax purposes by January 15 each year.

501(c)(3) EIN on every receipt

GFF's federal employer identification number is displayed on every donation receipt and footer.

Public ledger within 7 days

Every dollar you give appears in the Open Books public ledger within 7 days of receipt — no exceptions.

Checkout and receipts

Monthly giving stays the default action above one-time giving.

Wallets and card entry need to feel immediate on mobile.

Every post-checkout receipt points back to Open Books.

No payment endpoint is exposed yet. Stripe Checkout and Billing are configured. The next step is wiring the first live checkout session for monthly and one-time donations.

Your neighbor thanks you

Every week, families are waiting. Your gift arrives in 7 days.

No bureaucracy. No delays. Your money becomes food, care, and support this week.
