The Challenge

The Challenge: Donor abuse and over-solicitation

At Mite, we see over-solicitation as abusing donors, and the regularity with which it is used is concerning. Many charities struggle through interactions with donor who, due to over-solicitation, are skeptical and tired of being asked. We believe that it’s time for a change — a shift towards a more transparent, respectful, and relational approach to giving.

Today, many donors receive an overwhelming number of pleas from charities, which promotes their skeptical view of giving. It is unfortunate that their skepticism is often justified. Some nonprofits just plain fall short of ethical standards and engage in questionable practices. The actions of these bad actors can overshadow the true essence of charity and become an obstacle to people experiencing the joy of giving.

Mite's Solution: Making Giving Better

At Mite, we’re committed to turning the tide. Since 2017, we've developed a unique approach to charity that prioritizes transparency, integrity, inspiration, and relational engagement. Here’s how we’re different:

• Transparent Giving: We believe that donors deserve to see exactly where their money is going. Through innovative technology, Mite connects donors directly with the projects they support. You’ll be able to see the faces and places through photos and videos that benefit from your generosity, bringing you closer to the impact of your contributions.
• Respectful Asks: Forget the relentless appeals and constant requests. At Mite, we’re changing the narrative. We focus on keeping our community informed about our plans and invite you to be a part of our journey, without pressuring you for constant donations or a huge Q4 Appeal Blitz.
• 100% Model: Our Mighty Fund ensures that 100% of your project specified donations go directly to the projects you care about.
• Guaranteed Success: We stand by our projects. If, for any reason, a project doesn’t achieve its intended goal, Mite will cover the shortfall from our operational funds and redirect your donation to a new project of your choice.
• Community and Joy: There are multiple parties involved in every charitable transaction. Mite works to bring recipients and donors together to share in the Joy of Giving!
