What happens now

Four things, in order

Your receipt arrives

Within a minute, itemised with the amount and date. If it doesn't show up, check spam and then tell us.

Your gift joins the monthly pool

It sits in a restricted account until the first of the month, when grants go out to partners.

A partner buys food with it

Against an agreed budget line — a quarter of maize and beans, a batch of therapeutic food, a term of cooks' wages.

You get the numbers

A short quarterly email: meals served, what they cost, and anything that went wrong.

One more thing

A monthly gift is worth about three one-off ones.

Not because it's bigger, but because it's predictable. A kitchen can buy grain at harvest prices instead of hungry-season prices — about 19% cheaper for the same food — when it knows what's coming. A third of our revenue is monthly. We'd like it to be half.
