How to Make Sure Your Donations End Up in the Right Hands

How to make sure your donations end up in the right hands

We’re excited. Regive is finally here. In a digital world, you can do almost anything online. Now, there’s a space for you to give with a tap, too. We’ve created an app for you to post, find and get stuff — all for free.

Giving away or donating your stuff is one of the kindest things you can do. But sometimes we hesitate to give, because we don’t know who will be on the receiving end.

We all have many things we would happily pass along to anyone who really needs them. So, how do we make sure those things end up in the right hands?

That’s where Regive comes in. We created an app for you to connect directly with someone who needs what you’re giving away.

Once you post your item, it appears in a free community marketplace and users will reach out to you.

Solving the donation dumping problem

You’ve seen it happen – donations dumped, piled up or sold. This can be discouraging, especially when you want to make a difference.

That’s why Rigive is important. Everything is free. Every item you post goes directly to a verified user.
