Scratch: Give & Get Help Scratch is a mutual aid app for anyone who needs a hand, or wants to give one. Post a request, rally support, and pay it forward. Whether you're helping a stranger or someone close to you, Scratch makes giving and getting help simple, direct, and human. How It Works: Post a request when you need help. Set a goal, share your story, and let your community step up. When someone else needs support, donate directly. No middlemen, no friction. Open by Default: Your default circle is public — anyone can join, and the people you invite can invite others. Your network grows naturally, and so does your reach when you need support. Private Circles: Want to keep things closer? Create an invite-only circle for people you trust — friends, family, neighbors, colleagues. Private circles give your inner community a dedicated space where help stays personal. Reciprocity Score: Scratch rewards participation. Your Reciprocity Score reflects how you show up for others. The more you give, the more you can ask for. Direct Messaging: Reach out to anyone in your circle directly. Coordinate, check in, say thank you all without leaving the app. Keep 100% of What You Raise: Withdrawals are free — no platform fee. Donations are processed securely via Stripe, and payouts go straight to your bank account through verified Stripe Connect. Your financial information is never stored on our servers. Built for Real Life: Scratch is what happens when people actually look out for each other, strangers and friends alike. Join a circle, grow your network, and know that when you need it, help is close.
