Of Course! We are building this platform for that exact purpose. Please reach out to support@kindly.org to connect us to those communities.

Absolutely! Please get in touch with our community manager, Seth Anderson: seth@kindly.org, to schedule a DEMO of the platform.

We’re excited to connect you to an incredible family of existing donors who value your volunteer support.When you volunteer on Kindly, your time unlocks a donation matchfrom likeminded donors. You have 72 hours to activate this match by using the donation slider on the donation screen. Donate whatever amount feels right to you and a fellow community member will add to it, maximizing support for important local causes!

All donations are processed through The Kindly Community Fund, Inc. a registered 501(c)3 organization (45-3263196). Kindly issues an email receipt at the time of donation and, if you have made multiple donations on Kindly totaling more than $250, a year-end letter will be emailed to you documenting the sum of all your donations made through the Kindly platform

No, Kindly does not store your payment information. Every time you donate you have the flexibility to choose a different payment method. You can donate via PayPal, Credit or Debit Card, Venmo, or Apple/Google Pay. The next time you make a donation or add funds, simply select your preferred payment option at that time.

Kindly is free for all nonprofit partners. Kindly makes money as a payment processor. Donations are subject to standard credit card processing fees, approximately 3% + $0.49 per transaction.

The minimum age is 13 years-old.

Kindly only shares your data with the organizations you are supporting with your time and donation. This means that if you register for an event or donate to an organization through Kindly, it shares the contact and transaction information with only that organization. No other organizations can see private information, nor do we sell information to any external party.

Kindly does not validate hours for community service. Please check in with an employee of the organization in which you volunteered through Kindly.

We are serious about security and have implemented several measures to ensure your information is always protected. Reliable Hosting on Microsoft Azure: Kindly is hosted on Microsoft Azure servers, one of the leading cloud services known for its robust security measures. This ensures high availability, resilience, and protection of your data against threats. State-of-the-Art Encryption: We use SHA-512 for encrypting your password, which is even more advanced than the commonly used SHA-256. This means your password is securely coded into a format that's impossible for even us to see or decode. No Raw Data Exposure: It never exposes the raw data of your password, not even during system logs or routine checks. This ensures your login details stay just between you and us. Selective Third-Party Integrations: To enhance your experience on Kindly, we integrate with various third-party tools, including Google APIs. We carefully manage these integrations, allowing only necessary services access to ensure a secure and seamless experience. Enhanced Transmission Security with SSL Encryption: To safeguard your data in transit, Kindly employs SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption. This ensures that all data exchanged between your device and our servers is encrypted, making your interactions with Kindly private and secure from interception. Your security and trust are paramount to us. We're always here to answer any questions and are committed to keeping your data safe with the latest in security technology.

First, you can use Kindly to conveniently find & register for volunteer opportunities in one place. Second, Kindly has the power to amplify your financial impact through matching donations. As a volunteer, you will unlock donation matches from your service. You can also inspire others to match as a donor through the Kindly Wallet. Third, Kindly has the power to connect people to their community and other individuals looking to volunteer to make a difference

YES. You can not only register a group via Kindly, but you can also invite friends through this process. When registering for an event, make sure to follow the group prompt.

Please unregister via the app. Go to My Events to find the event detail screen (where you registered) and select unregister.

30 minutes before the start of the event, a “Check in” button will appear at the bottom of the screen in the homepage of the Kindly App. Simply open Kindly and press that button. If you already checked-in electronically through the nonprofit organization’s system, there’s no need to check in with Kindly. We synchronize your check-in status with our partners' system.

Kindly's donation model is focused on community impact, together. A donation opportunity is connected to your volunteer activity. The ability to donate opens towards the end of your event and is paired with matching funds from others in your community! But, don't sleep on it! This donation opportunity and unlocked funds are only available 72 hours after the volunteer event ends. Here are the steps to make that happen: Create Your Kindly Profile: You must create a profile in order to register for an event and donate. If you already have an account with a partner organization, I recommend you use the same email! Sign up and complete a volunteer activity: The opportunity to donate is connected to the volunteer event, so you must sign up, check-in, and complete the activity. You still have the ability to create a profile and register for the shift up to 15 minutes after the end of the event! Don’t miss out! Enter back into the app to donate: At the end of the activity, you will receive notification from Kindly saying you’ve been matched with a donor! Click on it to take you to donate. If you don’t have notifications enabled, open the app and you’ll see a message in the main page prompting you to unlock funds! This will guide you to the donation slider to amplify your impact to the organization!

Each event only allows for a single donation to be unlocked, regardless of the number of shifts volunteered.

Kindly is free for nonprofit partners. All donations in Kindly have a standard processing fee, approximately 3% + 0.49 per transaction, to cover the fees of using Kindly and 3rd party payment platforms like Venmo and Paypal. We encourage supporters to cover the cost so the organization receives the full donation you chose to give.

In the Kindly app, "tokens" act like keys for private events. A token is typically a unique string of characters that can be provided to a volunteer, which, when entered into the app, grants access to these special events. For example, if an organization is hosting a private event or fundraiser, they might share a token with their community. Those community members can enter this token into their Kindly profile to view the event details and sign up.

You may encounter shifts that are fully booked. Often, some of the reserved spots are part of a group reservation. Group leaders can hold spots and fill those spots with their intended co-volunteers. Please only register for a group you have been invited to. Sliding into someone’s group without being invited could create a few problems for that group leader (where their intended co-volunteers can be blocked from taking the spot reserved for them). Group leaders who see uninvited volunteers within their group are instructed to remove that volunteer, which would cancel your reservation. It is sort of like sliding into someone’s table at a restaurant when they have a reservation. It could get weird.
