Why Forward Giving?
The cost of living crisis has left many people struggling with everyday essentials.
At the same time, millions of people want to help but do not know where to start, or worry about where their money goes.
Forward Giving is exploring a new way to connect those two groups through targeted, transparent giving using gift cards for essential items.
We are at the beginning of the journey and would love your support in shaping what comes next.
Join us early
Forward is launching soon. Join the waitlist to help shape the future of giving.
This basic form opens an email. We can swap it for Tally, Mailchimp or Beehiiv next.
We are exploring partnerships with community groups, charities and local organisations to verify needs and keep people safe.
Not yet. This holding page is here to validate demand and invite early supporters to help shape the platform.
Forward Giving will explore ID checks, moderation, community safeguards and trusted partner verification before launch.
Gift cards make support targeted, practical and transparent. They help solve specific problems such as groceries, school shoes or interview clothing.
