Start a Program

Bring your cause. We’ll bring the nonprofit.

Rekonect hosts grassroots fundraising programs under our 501c(3) so you don’t have to start your own. Real tax-deductible donations. Real stewardship. None of the paperwork.

Pick the program type that fits what you’re trying to do. Fill out the form. We’ll take it from there.

Two program types

Same nonprofit umbrella. Same stewardship standards. Different shapes, depending on whether the work has an endpoint.

Ongoing

Community Support Fund

For work that doesn’t end on a deadline. Mutual aid pools, neighborhood meal trains, tenants’ defense funds, classroom supplies funds, ongoing care for a family in crisis, religious community needs, memorial scholarships that keep giving year after year.

Best when: the need is recurring or open-ended, and you want a stable home for the giving as long as it’s needed.

Time-bound

Social Impact Campaign

For the moments that demand a sharp, focused response. Disaster relief, a single medical bill, a community project, a defined fundraising goal, a one-time pilot. Built to run hard for a window and conclude cleanly.

Best when: there’s a clear timeframe or target, and the program ends once it’s hit.

What you’ll get

A real 501c(3) hosting your program — Rekonect, registered nonprofit, full tax-deductibility for donors.
A dedicated program page where donors can give and follow the cause.
Donation processing, donor records, and accounting — operated by our partner BrightLeaf Giving.
Disbursement infrastructure so funds get to where they’re going, documented and on the books.
Stewardship from a real institution that takes its fiduciary role seriously.

What we ask of you

Three things. Define the program’s charitable purpose. Communicate it honestly to donors. Submit disbursement requests that are aligned with what you raised the money for. That’s it.

Note: program organizers don’t own the funds and don’t have unilateral control over disbursements. Authority stays with Rekonect. That’s the structural feature that makes donor trust possible in the first place.

What happens after you apply

We read your proposal

Usually within a few business days. We may follow up with questions if anything’s unclear.

We approve or come back with feedback

If we can responsibly host the program under our nonprofit, we approve it. If we can’t, we’ll explain why — and often suggest a path that would work.

Your program goes live

We set up the dedicated page and activate the donation and accounting rails. You start raising. We handle the institution.
