The easy receipt upload system kept expenses organized, and the compliance team ensured all activities met legal standards. The program expanded to three schools within two years, reaching over 300 children.
Disaster Relief Fund
After a natural disaster, a family wanted to raise funds quickly to support affected neighbors. Through a disaster relief fund with a dedicated bank account.
