Here is how giving works

Understand the campaign, choose how to help and know where to turn with questions. Here is what to expect when you support a personal fundraiser on American Impact Alliance.

Giving, step by step

  1. Find a fundraiser that matters to you

    Browse campaigns for medical care, mobility, work and everyday family support. Open a campaign to learn who needs help, why they are raising funds and what the goal is for.

    Explore campaigns

  2. Read the story and the plan

    Each page carries the organizer’s story, the fundraising goal and a use-of-funds section when provided. If the plan or the beneficiary is unclear, ask our team before you give.

    Ask about a campaign

  3. Give through secure checkout

    Choose an amount and continue to hosted checkout, where you can review the amount, the currency and the available payment methods before confirming. You do not need an account to give.

    Donation and payment answers

  4. Keep your confirmation and follow along

    A confirmation is sent to the email used at checkout, and organizers post updates as the plan moves forward.

On every campaign page

Before you give, each campaign page shows the same four things.

  • The story: who the fundraiser is for and why
  • The fundraising goal
  • The organizer’s plan for the funds
  • Updates, when the organizer posts them

Need help for yourself or someone you know?

A fundraiser starts with a clear story and a practical plan. Here is how a campaign comes together on American Impact Alliance.

  1. Tell us about the need

    Share who the fundraiser is for, what is needed and what it costs. Photos or a short video help neighbors understand the situation.

  2. We review the details together

    Our team reviews each submission and may ask for more information before a campaign is published, so that the story and the plan are clear to supporters.

  3. Your campaign goes live

    The campaign page shows the story, the goal and the plan. As things move forward, you can post updates on the campaign page for supporters to follow.
