How working with BrightLeaf Giving works

The details change from program to program. The process stays simple.

Step 1 – Share your idea

Tell us who you’re trying to help, how you want to fund it, and what success looks like.

Step 2 – Choose the right structure

Together, we decide whether a hosted fund, a campaign, a scholarship, or a full nonprofit fits best.

Step 3 – Launch with support

We handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes so you can focus on your cause and your community.

Built for serious generosity

Individuals and families

You want to help someone, honor a story, or build a legacy without getting lost in paperwork.

Community leaders

You run programs, schools, or initiatives and need a clean way to raise and manage funds.

Emerging organizations

You’re crossing the line from “project” to “institution” and need a structure that will hold.

If you’re not sure where you fit, that’s fine. We’ll figure it out together.
