Donate My Labor Program
Get Services You Need While Supporting Good Causes
Service providers donate their professional services to those in need, and the person receiving the service donates the money they would have paid to an agreed-upon good cause like churches, charities, nonprofits, or even GoFundMe campaigns.
How It Works
A simple way to get what you need while making a real difference in your community.
Find a Partner
Connect with a professional who needs a service you can provide (or someone you know can provide).
Receive the Service
The service provider donates their time and expertise to help you. No money changes hands between you.
You Donate the Savings
As the person receiving the service, you donate what you would have paid to an agreed-upon church, charity, nonprofit, or GoFundMe campaign.
Examples
Scenario 1:
A hair stylist needs their taxes done. The accountant normally charges $50. The hair stylist who receives the tax service donates the $50 to the Church.
Scenario 2:
The tax accountant needs a hair cut. The hair stylist normally charges $50. The accountant who receives the hair cut service donates the $50 to the Church.
Scenario 3:
A hair stylist needs their taxes done. An accountant needs a haircut. They exchange services and each donates $50 to their local church. The church receives $100, both get the services they need, and the community benefits!
