HOW IT WORKS
Using decades of poverty research and micro-donations,
Tingle creates lasting change for individual families.
Certain common factors are likely to land people in hardship and keep them there — issues like unstable housing, lack of childcare, and limited access to transportation. These issues are Poverty Pivots. When we apply your $1 per month directly to each family’s pivot point, we not only help them survive, we enable them to thrive. Read more about Poverty Pivots.
