01
Less request screening
One giving profile replaces repeated explanations across email, spreadsheets, sponsorship inquiries, and internal follow-up.
Why companies use NeedsSupply
Replace a crowded giving inbox with a shortlist your team can act on.
NeedsSupply is not another open sponsorship portal. It curates vetted local opportunities around what your company can give, supplies the decision details your team needs, supports the handoff, and returns a consistent impact record.
02
Better matching
NeedsSupply curates approved opportunities using resource, cause, geography, timing, handling capacity, and reporting readiness.
03
Easier decisions
Consistent briefs surface the ask, eligibility, logistics, responsibilities, and expected impact before your team selects a match.
04
Stronger reporting
The closeout separates what was offered, committed, and delivered and keeps evidence sources and confirmations attached.
Where the value is highest
Companies with community goals but limited sourcing capacity.
The strongest fit is a lean CSR, HR, marketing, operations, or local leadership team that wants credible community partners without building a foundation-style network or screening every inbound request.
Where it fits mature programs
Use NeedsSupply for gaps—not to replace a network that already works.
Established corporate giving teams may get more value from targeted use cases: a new plant footprint, in-kind surplus, employee volunteer programs, or local needs outside their existing relationships.
Simple, low-risk pilot
Test a curated opportunity set before paying.
The first 10 participating companies can use the matching, coordination, and reporting workflow free for their first year—and help shape the model around real company needs.
First 10 companies
First year free
A complimentary founding year to test real matches, staff effort, fulfillment, and reporting value.
After the complimentary year
$189/year
Optional continued company membership, with no obligation to renew.
Pricing and conversion expectations are current management assumptions and will be validated with pilot participants.
What the company does
A bounded contribution—not another program to operate.
- 1. Clear the inventory. Complete the company's existing credit, return, reclamation, recall, safety, and authorization steps.
- 2. Record the offer. Provide the item, quantity, condition, location, handling needs, pickup window, and contact.
- 3. Approve the handoff. Confirm the selected recipient and practical delivery details.
- 4. Confirm the closeout. Review what was delivered and any company-supplied value or evidence information.
What NeedsSupply returns
A repeatable record from offer to evidence.
- Recipient recommendations limited to approved nonprofit profiles.
- An accountable match record for coordination and fulfillment.
- Separate offered, committed, and delivered quantities.
- Delivery date, evidence summary, evidence sources, and named confirmation.
- Optional participant-reported output metrics with methods and limitations.
- A printable closeout report for internal files or stakeholder updates.

Measurement notes
Households served reflects kits recorded as distributed during the reporting period. It does not establish longer-term social outcomes or causal impact.
The paid-value test
Measure whether the free year earns a $189 annual renewal.
NeedsSupply should not promise savings before establishing a baseline. The complimentary first year should compare the current process with the NeedsSupply workflow and ask a named budget owner whether the measured improvement is worth $189 per year.
The price and renewal expectation remain management hypotheses until participating companies confirm willingness to pay.
Staff effort
Company minutes or hours spent from offer through closeout compared with the current process.
Time to reservation
Elapsed time between an accepted supply offer and an approved recipient reservation.
Completion rate
Share of accepted offers that reach recipient-confirmed delivery.
Report turnaround
Elapsed time between delivery and a closeout report that is ready to share.
Repeat behavior
Whether the company submits another offer or expands the workflow to another location or category.
Paid intent
Whether a named budget owner will evaluate the $189 annual membership after the complimentary first year.
