How It Works
Here’s how it works:
People often ask us, “Really? 100% goes to my gift?” Yes. Absolutely 100%. It’s your investment in someone’s life, and we spend every penny the way you ask us to.
How do we do it?
We offer you the option of donating a tax-deductible gift to cover the cost of our services. These optional gifts help us achieve our mission: connecting people who want to give to people in need.
Ways you can give
SeeYourImpact provides simple, small gifts that transform people’s lives. Gifts like $10 Mosquito Nets, $29 Water Filters, and $85 Wheelchairs.
Imagine you were holding a $20 bill in your hand. A small amount can become a life-altering gift. When you give $20 to SeeYourImpact, it becomes a Braille Kit to a blind student in India. Or a Life-Saving Medicine Kit for a child in Rwanda.
We work with proven charity partners in local communities to transform your $20 into lives changed. Then we show you the difference your $20 made. It’s simple.
About 2 weeks after you give, we’ll email the picture of the real person whose life you changed. We’ll also send you a story, detailing exactly the difference your gift made.
It only takes about 2 weeks?
Yes. We leverage innovative technology to ensure a fast turn around on updates from the field.
We get the stories and photos delivered to you in 1 of 3 ways, depending on your gift:
- When you give gifts like one of our Hand-Powered Wheelchairs, our partners on-the-ground are notified within minutes. They deliver the wheelchair to someone who’s been waiting.
- When it’s more efficient, we deliver your gift in advance. For example, some of our partners travel to remote, hard-to-reach villages. Once there, they deliver more than one gift at a time, some of which haven’t been funded yet. Our field partners rely on SeeYourImpact donors to fund the gift they’ve given. When you sponsor a gift that’s been delivered and is waiting to be funded, you provide for the initial individual and free up funds to help someone else.
- Paying for someone’s school tuition is one of the most effective ways to lift them out of poverty. When you fund tuition, you’re either sponsoring the gift of an enrolled student whose tuition needs funding, or you’re making it possible for the student to return next year.
In every case, staff on the ground capture the moment when your gift is delivered. They upload the picture and story to our website. Volunteers help edit the story before it gets published. And about 2 weeks after you give your gift, you’ll receive the photograph and story of the real person you helped.
Sisupan's family and the water filter Valerie provided
Valerie, a SeeYourImpact donor, gave a $29 water filter. About 2 weeks later, she received the photo and story of the family her gift helped.
