The Put Me In! mobile app has three key features: manage and request financial aid, message Put Me In!, and manage a child’s profile. Manage & Request Financial Aid A caregiver may use the Put Me In! app to manage financial aid by selecting the middle $ icon on the bottom navigation menu. This view displays the amount of funds remaining for a child each year and a history of recent financial aid distributions. To request financial aid, a caregiver selects the ‘Request Funds’ button at the bottom of the dashboard. Then the caregiver completes a brief questionnaire to indicate the use of the financial aid. Once complete, the app submits the request to Put Me In! for review. Message Put Me In! By selecting the right-side message icon in the bottom navigation menu, a caregiver may use the app to message Put Me In! staff directly via a SMS-style interface. Manage a Child’s Profile A caregiver can manage a child’s profile by selecting the gear icon on the left side of the bottom navigation menu. Here, a caregiver can edit any information about the child, such as sports played. Note: The Put Me In! Mobile app is only accessible to registered Put Me In! caregivers (i.e., only caregivers can log in).
