No, our micro-grants are not loans. They are direct payments that come via donations from our Chicagoland community of donors.
If approved, Goodsend securely onboards the student into its’ payment system (hosted by Stripe), so that we can send their micro-grant directly to their bank account when the funds are available.
Goodsend's community of local donors and micro-grant system are a 100% free resource for Chicagoland schools.
We ensure personal and financial confidentiality for all student micro-grant requests. Funds are sent via our industry leading partners at Stripe.
A seamless application process for school staff and quick funding decisions for each student's request.
Offer direct payments as a service for your low-income students and families, no strings attached.
School partners tap into a growing network of nearly 1,000 Chicagoland donors that are giving to local students in need.
Goodsend is a tech startup and innovative partner for Chicagoland schools and students.
Each month, a new batch of students and families in need receive a direct micro-grant from Goodsend’s community. Check out some of the stories from those that have received emergency financial aid.
Once your school is a Goodsend partner, your staff will receive access to a secure micro-grant application form. Whenever there is a low-income student in need of emergency funding, your staff can assist the student in completing this application form and submitting it to Goodsend for review.
