Austin Giving Connection partners with local non-profits to find individuals who have the most critical needs and allows them to set up a profile to express these needs as well as their story.
Those who wish to donate can use the search function to find recipient profiles and then choose who receives their donation(s). This provides a more personal connection between the two and allows opportunities for relationships to develop.
Once recipients establish a profile, they can go in and update their information at any time. Profile input, including their current location on google maps, is stored in a real time database so that the donator can identify if a recipient's needs or location changes. The person in need has the option to identify the means in which the donor communicates (e-mail, phone, text, or non-profit).
Recipient profiles will include:
• Teenagers who are aging out of the foster care system
• Chronically homeless
• Families who have experienced loss from natural disasters, such as floods or fires
• Families or individuals in transition due to illness or death
• Children in transition due to family instability
