Donum Foundation Outreach Partners
Some gifts have to be delivered in person.
Outreach partners are the organisations who help us do that: they know the people and communities we serve, and they stay with them long after a gift arrives.

Who our partners are
Community organisations, NGOs, refugee-led organisations, schools, clinics, cooperatives: organisations that already know the people they serve and are there for the long run.
Our own team does outreach too. Every chance says whether our team or a partner is delivering it.
What a partner does
- Tells us about a person or a community who is one gift away, and helps us find the one missing piece.
- Agrees on a clear definition of "done" with us and with them: the step we fund, what should change after it, and when.
- Explains, in a language the person understands, what they're agreeing to, and records their answers: that we'll check on the gift, and how much of their story may be shown.
- Sends a quote for the exact gift and its costs.
- Buys and delivers the gift once it's funded, and sends the signed confirmation that it arrived.
- Follows up at six months, at a year, and whenever the change we planned for should show, and reports honestly, including when a chance didn't hold.
A partner sees only its own referrals, never anyone else's.
What we do
- Check every referral, and say yes, not yet, or no, with a reason.
- Post the chance, showing only what the person agreed to.
- Fund it, pay the partner, and record every payment.
- Check a random sample of delivered gifts ourselves, through someone who didn't choose the chance.
- Publish what held and what didn't.
Becoming a partner
We take on partners one at a time. Before we sign an agreement, we check the organisation: its registration, its work, and how it keeps the people it serves safe.

If your organisation already works with us
The partner portal opens once our first agreements are signed. When it does, you'll sign in with your work email. There's no password: we email you a link and a six-digit code. Whoever set up your organisation's account can add the rest of your team.
