Did you know there are 1.8 million nonprofits in America? Most are struggling to be heard, but PIFster is changing that. We're a community of micro-donors who collectively "Pay It Forward" by contributing just $1 a month. Then, our community chooses a different amazing charity to support each month, amplifying the voices of those who often go unheard and giving helping hands a powerful boost. Join the PIFster movement today to help us discover and fund incredible causes that are making a real difference in our communities!
A generous person will prosper; whoever helps others will be helped themselves. Proverbs 11:25

This is a really big deal for us, so I just wanted to say thank you so much. And we are so so grateful for all the help that we’ve gotten from PIFster they Pay It Forward app. It’s been incredibly expensive, and Max's care will continue to be so. Without your help we would not have been able to travel to Cincinnati to be here with him. Thanks, you guys.

We were so lucky to get the country voting for us on America’s Got Talent 3 years ago, but homelessness has become an even more critical issue that needs creative solutions, so to have your votes and support now means more than ever to the beautiful voices in our choir. Thank you PIFster!

Thank you PIFster community! You have no idea how much your donation helped. The donation was used to help for medical expenses for two of our senior dogs. We’re super thankful! Donate a dollar guys! Help PIFster help the community! We’re not the only dog rescue out there, you can help others as well with PIFster. We all need help, and that’s what it’s all about.

Pay it forward. Such a fantastic life view. And as the beneficiary of the PIFster monthly donation, we’ll be using the money to do the very same thing: by supporting our new peer to peer mentoring program called HUGS, which stands for Helping You Grow Strong, where somebody who’s caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease can get life saving advice and support from another who’s walked that path.

Our most recent program focuses on female veterans dealing with PTSD, and us helping them to establish safe spaces to network. The donation we’ve gotten from PIFster will support that program.

We honestly could not do [what we do] without our friends and partners over at PIFster. We want to keep paying it forward. We want to keep being #givefluencers, and we want to keep giving back in any way we can, so anybody that does not have the PIFster app, what are you doing? Get going. Download it. And vote for your favorite charities, like Project Pop Drop.

Thanks to the incredible support of PIFster and their community, we were able to make a real difference for the single mom families we work with, helping them through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah.
