How programs should be
Direct help straight to the people
Your support goes right to people working hard to get back on their feet. Roughly 97% of every dollar is shared evenly between recipients. There are no middlemen and no hidden fees, just real help that reaches real people.
Trust you can see
Every recipient is carefully checked so you know your support goes to people who truly need it. You can see how funds are used and track everything yourself.
Helping people and neighborhoods
Your contributions support low-income individuals from all kinds of backgrounds across the United States. Every gift helps someone build stability and makes local communities stronger.
Small gifts make a real difference
Even a few dollars each month can cover groceries, rent, or utilities. When we all pitch in, small acts add up to meaningful change.
But what is it, really?
Upsted Unite is the first open, scalable, community-funded aid program built to provide monthly support for those facing financial hardship. Every dollar you give goes directly to our vetted recipients. No banks, no loans, no interest, no government - just people uplifting people. Each new supporter expands what is distributed and how many people can be reached. Our mission is simple but ambitious; to create real pathways toward upward mobility. We believe that steady monthly support, free from debt or conditions, can reduce stress, unlock potential, and open doors for a better future.
Common questions
You’re supporting a community that helps people find stability. Each month, your contribution is shared fairly among our low-income members so everyone gets a hand up.
ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. These are hardworking people who earn above the poverty line but still struggle to cover essentials like rent, food, childcare, healthcare, and transportation. Often, just one emergency away from falling behind.
About 97% of your contribution goes straight to members. For example, a $10 contribution split across ten members gives roughly $0.97 each.
Every member goes through a careful review that balances human judgment with supportive technology. We want to understand their situation and ensure they’re genuinely committed to being part of a community built on shared support.
Not at this time. Contributions are shared evenly so everyone gets fair support.
If everyone has hit their monthly cap, extra contributions go toward expanding the program, welcoming more low-income members, and keeping Unite running smoothly.
