Community Support, Coordinated More Reliably
GoodGesture brings resource requests, partner conversations, and follow-through into one web platform. Coordinate with other organizations and community supporters around the supplies, space, volunteer help, and other support your team needs.
Hi Portland! 👋
Let's Stay in Touch.
We’re preparing for our Portland metro beta. Leave your email for updates and opportunities to try GoodGesture with your organization.
Why GoodGesture?
Your team has enough to coordinate.
Finding the right support often means reaching across emails, social posts, spreadsheets, and separate conversations. Keeping everything moving can take just as much effort as finding help in the first place.
We’re building GoodGesture to give organizations a clearer way to communicate what they need, work with local partners, and follow requests through to completion.
Make specific needs visible.
Share what your organization actually needs, with the details that help partners and supporters make a useful offer.
Coordinate across organizations
Connect around shared needs and available resources. Give collaboration a clear starting point, whether you’re working with an existing partner or making a new connection.
Keep the conversation connected
Ask questions, discuss offers, and work out the details through direct messages. Continue the conversation with a partner when another need comes up.
Know where things stand
Keep track of requests and record when support has been delivered, so an offer of help becomes a clear, completed outcome.
Organization-to-organization collaboration
Good work happens between organizations, too.
We're here to help facilitate that in a more convenient way.
When one organization needs workshop space, supplies, or practical support, another may have the resources to help.
GoodGesture is being built to make those connections easier to act on. Start with a specific request, bring the right partner into the conversation, and coordinate the details together.
You can involve the organizations and supporters you already know while creating opportunities to connect with others locally.
From a clear need to coordinated support.

Other organizations and individual supporters can ask questions and offer help. Review responses and agree on next steps through direct messages.
Follow through and record the outcome
(03)
Coordinate the handoff or other practical details. Once the support has been delivered, mark the request as fulfilled so everyone involved knows the need has been met.
What could your organization coordinate?
(01)
Find space through a local partner
Your organization needs a room for a community workshop. Another organization has space available, and you coordinate its use together.
(03)
Bring people together around a practical task
Your organization needs help setting up an event or sorting supplies. Share the request with supporters and coordinate next steps with people who offer help.
(02)
Connect supplies with a specific need
Your team requests hygiene products, backpacks, or baby supplies. Partner organizations and community supporters can respond with items that match the request.
Can we use GoodGesture with partners we already know?
Yes. GoodGesture is being designed so you can share requests with your existing partners and supporters, alongside connecting with other participants locally.
What kinds of needs can organizations share?
We’re designing GoodGesture around needs such as supplies, equipment, shared space, volunteer help, and other practical resources. The specific workflows available during beta will depend on the initial release.
Who can publish requests?
Approved organizations and people authorized to represent them will be able to publish requests. Individual supporters can ask questions and offer help in response to organizational requests.
Who is GoodGesture for?
GoodGesture is being built primarily for nonprofits and community organizations coordinating resources and practical support. Organizations can work with one another and involve individual supporters in responding to their needs.
Frequently asked questions
A few things you might be wondering
Built with the People Doing the Work
We’re developing GoodGesture through research and conversations with nonprofits and community organizations.
Their experiences are helping us understand how teams coordinate support, where follow-through becomes difficult, and what would make collaboration more useful in everyday work.
Our initial focus is the Portland metro area.
Research and beta development are underway in Portland, Oregon.
