For funders
Capacity building that grantees actually use.
Small charities rarely lack heart. They lack time and specialist help: an hour with an accountant, a lawyer's read of a policy, a coach for a new director. Golden Hint moves that expertise between charities, at scale, without anyone paying for it.
Sponsor credit pools
Fund pools of credits for your grantees or a whole cause area. Credits are grants of time, not money, so there's no cash moving between charities.
See the gaps
Anonymized, aggregated data on what small charities ask for help with, in groups of at least ten organizations, to guide your own capacity-building.
Recommend it
A free, well-governed tool to send grantees to: a founder pathway, a resources library, and a peer network.
A serious steward
Golden Hint is run and fully funded by the Rouben Malian Memorial Foundation Inc, a New York 501(c)(3).
