About Forward
Forward is a platform that connects people who want to give away items with those who need them—turning item donations into charitable support across the region.
Our Mission
We believe that giving should be simple, meaningful, and impactful. The primary goal of Forward is to enable anyone wanting to donate to charity to take their items, put them on Forward, and tell the person who wants to receive them to donate a specified amount to their chosen charity.
One Platform, Broad Regional Reach
Users can post items they want to give away directly on Forward, where recipients can browse and request them. To maximize visibility and gather as much information as possible about item donations across the region, Forward also makes it easy to send and cross-post your donation to other well-known regional platforms.
How It Works
For Donors: Post items you want to give away on Forward, select a charity, and set a suggested donation amount. You can also easily share your listing to other popular platforms in the region.
For Recipients: Browse available donations in your area and request items on Forward or linked regional platforms. When receiving an item, you donate the specified amount directly to the chosen charity.
Direct Donations & Money Flow
Forward does not control, hold, or process any money flow. Payments never pass through our platform. It is entirely up to the person acquiring the item to donate the agreed amount directly to the designated charity through official donation channels.
Our Values
- Generosity: We believe everyone has something to give.
- Community: We build connections between givers and receivers.
- Impact: Every donation makes a difference, big or small.
- Sustainability: We promote reuse and reduce waste.
