FavourBee for organisations

FavourBee is free for neighbours. Organisations run it as a Verified Hive — a vetted, accountable home for trusted, neighbour-to-neighbour mutual aid, with the safety and reporting a real institution needs.

What a Verified Hive unlocks

A verified badge and public-directory listing; funder-ready impact and outcome reports (neighbours served, volunteers, repeat helpers, estimated volunteer-time value) formatted for grant renewals; the full coordinator toolkit (auto-triage, one-tap match-making, posting on behalf of members who aren't online, a private safety inbox, rating-integrity checks); optional higher-trust help gated by extra vouches and a member-obtained Vulnerable Sector Check; regional federation across Verified Hives; printable, coordinator-attested contribution records for members; and Canadian data residency (data and photos stored in Montréal, aligned with PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, never sold).

Student community-service hours (built in)

Ontario students need 40 hours of community involvement to graduate. A school Hive lets students help real neighbours; every favour is confirmed by the person helped, so it can't be padded, and produces a printable, teacher-attested Community Contribution Record. Verified hours, no paperwork.

Who it's for

Schools (student volunteer hours), food banks and food-security programs, Military Family Resource Centres, churches, Legions and service clubs, seniors' residences (with large-text mode and post-on-behalf for members who aren't online), newcomer and settlement groups, and municipalities or regions running many Hives.

What it costs

Neighbours are always free. A community Hive is free to start. A Verified Hive is about $750/year (or $75/month) — verification, funder reports, the full coordinator toolkit, regional sharing, and support. Regional and municipal pricing is custom. Most hosts fund it as a line item in a community grant, and the built-in outcome reports help keep that grant. Talk to us: hello@favourbee.ca
