Participation with a purpose
Give employees a clearer way to discover local causes and consider how they would like to take part.
Employer program preview
Put your community budget to work close to home.
Bring employees together around local causes, with a clear plan for participation, spending, and results.
Good Neighbor Project is developing workplace giving, matching, and volunteer programs built around your team, your community, and a budget you control.
An invitation to explore, with no program commitment.

Why bring it closer
A thoughtful program should feel possible to run.
We’re designing the employer experience around three practical aims.
Simpler local coordination
Bring one local goal, defined responsibilities, and a working budget into a plan your team can review.
Reporting worth reading
Plan for a concise review of participation, spending, and lessons that can inform the next decision.
A deliberate beginning
Start small. Learn locally.
We are exploring a focused Palm Beach County employer pilot. Its scope would be agreed with each participating team and organization before any activity begins.
- 01
Choose a local goal
Identify one team, community priority, and working budget.
- 02
Agree on the scope
Set responsibilities, employee participation options, and what a useful review should cover.
- 03
Confirm the arrangements
Work through charity consent, a volunteer host where relevant, and the written program and payment terms before launch.
- 04
Review before expanding
Consider what happened, what it cost, and what should change before another program.
A clear commercial model
Service fees and charitable gifts would stay distinct.
Good Neighbor Project is a developing for-profit platform. We propose a paid employer service for agreed program planning, coordination, and review. Pricing would be scoped with each employer; no rates have been set.
Two separate lines
Employer service
A proposed fee for the work Good Neighbor agrees to perform.
Community funds
Any future charitable gifts, company matches, or activity costs would be budgeted and explained separately.
No giving or matching payments are live. The recipient, processor, fees, receipts, and payout flow must be settled before any gift is accepted.

Employer FAQs
What a first conversation can cover, and what is still in development.
What could a pilot include?
A focused pilot could include a local goal, approved charity or volunteer options, employee communications, a defined coordination scope, and a simple program review. The exact work and responsibilities would be agreed in writing first.
What company sizes and locations are a fit?
We welcome exploratory conversations with employers of different sizes. The first pilot focus is Palm Beach County; scope and fit would depend on the team and local organizations involved. No wider rollout is scheduled.
Can we help choose the charities?
Yes. Your priorities can guide the conversation. Any real charity would need to review and approve how its name, work, and opportunities are presented before being featured. No charity partnership is implied by this page.
Could we begin with volunteering?
That is one possible pilot format. A real opportunity would need an agreed host, date, capacity, accessibility details, and clear responsibilities before employees are invited to take part.
Can employees give, and can we match gifts?
Giving and matching are planned possibilities, not active features. We would not accept or match gifts until the legal recipient, payment provider eligibility, processing fees, payout timing, receipts, and refund arrangements are settled and clearly explained.
How would fees and budgets work?
We propose a scoped employer service fee for agreed planning and coordination. Gifts, matches, and activity costs would be separate. We would present the full proposed scope and budget for review before a commitment; prices are not fixed yet.
Would employee participation be required?
No. We envision voluntary ways for employees to engage, shaped with the employer and the participating organization. The invitation and any information collected would be agreed as part of the pilot design.
What would we learn, and how would privacy work?
We are designing a concise, primarily aggregate program review of participation, spending, and lessons. There is no live employer dashboard. We would agree what data is collected and shared, minimize individual details, and address consent before a pilot.
Is Good Neighbor a charity? Are gifts tax-deductible?
Good Neighbor Project is a developing for-profit platform. Tax treatment would depend on the final gift recipient and payment arrangement; we cannot promise deductibility. Employers should discuss their own circumstances with a qualified adviser.
How do we get started, and when is it available?
Email mike@getgoodneighbor.com to explore a fit. The employer service is in development, and launch timing is not confirmed. An inquiry does not create a contract, payment, or program commitment.
