From vetting to the first donation

Four steps. The first one, vetting, is what gives companies the confidence to donate regularly.

01

Sign-up and vetting

Your organization is checked against official government registries and the status of its CNPJ. Once approved, it is visible to companies in your region as a verified organization.

  1. 02

    Access to available donations

    You see the surplus from companies within the distance your organization can travel to pick it up, by category and quantity. With no donor company nearby yet, your organization joins the waiting list for its region.

  2. 03

    Request and confirmation

    Request the donation in the system. The company confirms and you agree on logistics together. Everything is recorded.

  3. 04

    Automatic receipt and history

    Each delivery produces a receipt signed electronically by both parties and joins your history, which makes reporting to funders easier.
