So, why choose to give through Encircle over a traditional charity? In a nutshell, we believe there’s a big difference between giving to charity and giving to a person. We believe that you should be able to put your entire donation directly into the hands of someone whom you know needs it, rather than putting it in the hands of a middleman organization where its impact will be spread thin. We believe your dollar should go as far as possible, and you should know exactly where it goes.
More Personal. We provide specific details about the individual, the situation, and the immediate need you’re giving to – so you know exactly how your dollars are changing each individual life. You’re not giving to charity, or a generic benevolence fund – you’re giving straight to a real person with a real need in real time.
More Transparent. We guarantee that 100% of your dollar goes directly in the recipient’s hands. Every donor, every time, no exceptions. Plus, our expert team of Validators and Verifiers both in the home office and out in the field makes sure that every need is properly authenticated so that you can give confidently.
More Meaningful. We don’t think the giving process should be over when you click “donate”. With Encircle, that’s only the beginning. We’ll keep you connected to your recipients by providing ongoing updates, so that you can experience firsthand what transforming a life looks like. There’s nothing more fulfilling than the knowledge that you have made a positive, life-changing impact, and our one-of-a-kind platform gives you the ability to multiply this impact like never before.
