One dollar moves a dollar. Identity-verified, tax-receipt ready, settled the same day.
Direct giving is one-to-one. A specific person, a specific moment — without a campaign, without a pool, and without a platform shaving the gift down.
Rent. A medical bill. A flight home. The dollars move at the speed of the situation — identity verified on both ends, settled the same day.
Writers, musicians, small developers, teachers. A flat dollar per gift means even a small thanks isn't shaved down to nothing.
Send directly to a small nonprofit or to a fundraiser you found. If the recipient is a 501(c)(3), the receipt issues automatically — no platform standing in between.
The recipient doesn't need a Bequest account to begin. They just need the link.
Pick the person, the amount, and a memo. Pay with whatever you'd normally use.
Email or text. No Bequest account required to claim — the link is the key.
Quick ID check sized to the dollars. They pick where the money lands.
Same day for domestic. Receipt issued automatically if the recipient is a 501(c)(3).
Every direct gift carries a memo from the sender and a reply field for the recipient. The exchange is part of the record — not a debit line on a statement.
If the recipient is a 501(c)(3), an IRS-compliant receipt issues automatically on settlement. Either way, both sides keep a clean, exportable record of what was given and why.
Whether you're processing your first gift or rebuilding your entire infrastructure, Bequest is the platform your mission deserves.
