Good Crowd

Good Crowd is monthly giving for the neighborhood you actually live in. Pick the local nonprofits you believe in, set one monthly amount, and Good Crowd splits it across them automatically. Change your amount or your split whenever you like. FIND YOUR LOCAL GOOD Choose the causes you care about and we'll suggest organizations working near you. Browse by cause, see who's recommended for you, and dig into what each nonprofit does before you decide. MEET THE NONPROFIT Every organization has its own page with a plain-language mission, a look at its programs, and its 501(c)(3) status, so you know exactly who you're supporting. BUILD YOUR GOOD CROWD Add as many nonprofits as you want to your portfolio. Together they become your crowd: the group of organizations you show up for every month. ONE AMOUNT. EVERY MONTH. Set a single monthly amount that fits your budget. Good Crowd handles the rest, so giving to five organizations feels as simple as giving to one. YOUR GIVING. YOUR SPLIT. Start with an even split, or set a custom allocation and give more to the causes that matter most. Rebalance your portfolio anytime, and see a clear breakdown of your donation, the platform fee, and your total before anything is charged. SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PAYMENTS Sign in with Apple or Google, pay securely with Apple Pay or a card, and get a receipt for every monthly charge. Change your amount, stop anytime, or update your card from your account in a couple of taps. Good Crowd is built for people who want to support their community consistently without turning it into a project. Set it up once, and keep showing up for your neighbors.
