Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Rebuild?
Rebuild is a web-application platform that connects individuals and organizations in need with compassionate donors, facilitating in-kind donations and support.
How does Rebuild work?
Rebuild operates as a universal registry, allowing survivors to create lists of specific items they need and share them with their social circles to receive in-kind donations directly. It's like crowdfunding meets a wedding or baby registry, streamlining the process and eliminating the "second disaster" of unsolicited donations.
Who can use Rebuild?
Rebuild caters to both individuals experiencing adversities, such as natural disasters or homelessness, and nonprofit organizations seeking in-kind donations. Our platform empowers everyone to make a meaningful impact.
Is there a cost to use Rebuild?
Rebuild is free for individual users and organizations. We offer premium features for organizations through our subscription-based tiers, providing customization options to further enhance their outreach.
What makes Rebuild different from other platforms?
Rebuild stands out as the only universal registry of its kind, welcoming both new and secondhand items. It prioritizes the specific needs of individuals and organizations, ensuring donors provide valuable support tailored to those in need.
Can I register for non-material donations on Rebuild?
Absolutely! In addition to physical gifts, Rebuild embraces other in-kind donations, such as gifts of time, experience, skills, and services, strengthening the sense of community and support.
Are there customization options for organizations?
Yes, Rebuild offers customization options for paid customers. These options include custom layouts, colors, and the ability to embed media-rich content, empowering organizations to showcase their mission effectively.
Is Rebuild easy to use for individuals with limited technology experience?
Yes, Rebuild's user-friendly interface ensures that anyone can create a registry without extensive technology expertise. If you've ever made a wedding or baby registry or purchased a gift through one, you can effortlessly navigate Rebuild.
Does Rebuild have a mobile app version?
Currently, Rebuild does not offer a mobile app version. However, it plans to launch one in the future to enhance user accessibility and convenience.
How does Rebuild handle the delivery of donations?
