Who We Are
NeighborShare envisions a world where timely acts of generosity transform lives - where neighbors in need are connected to neighbors who want to help.
Our mission is to build access to just-in-time financial assistance so a small but pivotal expense, like a car repair or unexpected bill, doesn’t lead to a crisis like job loss or homelessness.
We do this by partnering with case managers and social workers at vetted local nonprofits who identify and upload critical household needs that would otherwise go unmet to the NeighborShare platform. Our growing network of online donors, corporate partners, and private funders meets those needs in real-time, knowing each request has been validated by our vetted network of partners.
By removing red tape and activating neighborly support, NeighborShare ensures real-time help reaches those who need it most. Donors can give with confidence, knowing their contributions will go directly to real households with real needs.
Our Values
Empowerment: We trust community organizations closest to the need to lead the way. NeighborShare exists to remove barriers, provide flexible resources, and amplify local work, so partners can respond quickly and effectively in the ways they know work best.
Dignity: Every neighbor deserves respect, agency, and compassion. We honor each individual’s story and lived experience, designing our approach to be flexible so neighbors can define what support looks like for them.
Community: Neighbors are everywhere and humanity is at its best when we look out for each other. Today you’re helping someone—tomorrow you may need help. We pay it back and we pay it forward.
Transparency: Trust is foundational to our work. Donors and community partners all know where money given to NeighborShare comes from and where it goes.
