Our guided intake helps you share what's going on so our team can review it with care. For partnerships or media, choose a path below.

Every request begins with listening

Tell us what's happening and what kind of support may help. Whether someone is sick, needs a wheelchair or medical equipment, is facing cancer treatment costs, was evicted, lost their home in a fire, or is going through another crisis — share what you can in your own words.

Acts of Kindness Foundation reviews requests carefully and may ask for verification before any decision is made. When assistance is possible, support is handled through verified partners or direct vendor payments — not unrestricted cash.
