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; your own branding (add your logo and your Hive wears your name and colours at the top of the app, co-branded with a small 'on FavourBee'); 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; an optional 'Support our Hive' donation link to your org's own page (members can fund your mission directly — favours stay free and FavourBee never touches the money); and Canadian data residency (data and photos stored in Montréal, aligned with PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, never sold).

Dignity & privacy for your members

No ID, no proving you're in need, no charity counter — everyone gives and gets. People can even ask discreetly, with their name hidden from the Hive (neighbours just see 'a neighbour'), so the folks who most need help aren't too embarrassed to reach out — only the neighbour who steps up to help connects with them, in private. The stigma is the real barrier to asking for help; FavourBee is designed to remove it.

Verified contribution records

Members can print a Community Contribution Record — verified hours (confirmed by the neighbours they helped, so nothing is padded) with a coordinator signature line. Handy for a reference, a resume, or volunteer-hour requirements like a student's 40 community-service hours.

Who it's for

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, schools (verified student volunteer hours), and municipalities or regions running many Hives.

Ready when disaster strikes

In a flood, wildfire, or ice storm, your first responder is usually a neighbour — yet today that help is improvised on Facebook groups where the right person never sees it in time and scams spike. A FavourBee Hive means the trusted, vouched network is already in place before the emergency: who has a spare room, a generator, truck space, or can check on an isolated senior reaches real, known neighbours instantly. It complements official emergency services (always call 911) and is a natural fit for municipal and provincial emergency-preparedness and climate-adaptation programs.

What it costs

Neighbours are always free. A community Hive is free to start. A Verified Hive is from $750/year (or $75/month) — verification, funder reports, the full coordinator toolkit, regional sharing, and support. Regional and municipal pricing is custom, and services and add-ons (a managed Hive we can run for you, setup, custom branding, SMS) are quoted to need. Many hosts fund it through a community grant or local sponsorship, and the built-in outcome reports are made for those renewals. Talk to us: hello@favourbee.ca
