About Rekonect

Rekonect is a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization that exists to host and steward charitable programs.

We provide an institutional home for Community Support Funds and Social Impact Campaigns, allowing individuals, groups, and communities to organize charitable activity without forming their own nonprofit organization.

Rekonect does not operate as a consultancy, fundraiser, or grantmaking intermediary. Its role is to host programs, oversee their charitable purpose, and maintain responsible stewardship of funds.

Why Rekonect Exists

Many people want to support others or organize charitable efforts but are not seeking to establish or run an independent nonprofit organization.

Rekonect exists to meet this need by providing:

  • A stable nonprofit structure
  • Clear authority over charitable funds
  • Ongoing institutional oversight
  • A framework built for public trust

By separating program purpose from nonprofit administration, Rekonect allows charitable activity to remain focused and sustainable.

What Rekonect Does

Rekonect hosts charitable programs and retains responsibility for their governance and oversight.

This includes:

  • Approving and defining program purposes
  • Serving as the legal nonprofit home for funds and campaigns
  • Retaining authority over the use and disbursement of funds
  • Ensuring funds are applied in alignment with charitable purposes

Rekonect remains accountable for all programs it hosts.

How Rekonect Works with BrightLeaf Giving

Rekonect partners with BrightLeaf Giving to support the operational needs of its programs.

BrightLeaf Giving provides the technical and financial systems that support:

  • Donation processing
  • Program accounts and balance tracking
  • Disbursement execution
  • Financial documentation and reporting

BrightLeaf Giving operates these systems on behalf of Rekonect. Authority over program funds and final approval of disbursements remains with Rekonect.

Who Rekonect Is Designed to Serve

Rekonect is designed for:

  • Individuals supporting others through structured charitable giving
  • Informal groups coordinating charitable efforts
  • Program managers overseeing ongoing support funds
  • Communities responding to shared or recurring needs

Programs on Rekonect are purpose-driven rather than founder-driven.

Stewardship and Responsibility

Rekonect approaches its role as one of stewardship.

This means:

  • Programs are hosted, not owned
  • Funds are administered, not controlled by donors or organizers
  • Decisions are guided by stated charitable purposes
  • Oversight continues for the life of the program

Stewardship is central to Rekonect’s identity and operations.

Organizational Focus

Rekonect focuses exclusively on:

  • Hosting Community Support Funds
  • Hosting Social Impact Campaigns
  • Maintaining integrity, continuity, and oversight for these programs

Rekonect does not provide advisory services. Its mission is to serve as a durable institutional host for charitable activity.

Looking Ahead

Rekonect is built for long-term use.

As programs change, evolve, or conclude, Rekonect remains responsible for ensuring funds are handled appropriately and purposes are respected.

This continuity is what allows programs hosted by Rekonect to operate responsibly and sustainably.
