What’s Upsted Unite?

Upsted Unite is the first scalable, community-funded aid program built to provide steady, reliable monthly support for those facing financial hardship. Every dollar you give goes directly towards our members — no banks, no loans, no interest — just people uplifting people. The more we grow together, the greater the impact: each new supporter expands what is distributed and how many lives can be reached. Our mission is simple but ambitious — to create real pathways toward upward mobility. We believe that steady monthly support, free from debt or conditions, can reduce stress, unlock potential, and open doors for a better future.

Not at this time. Contributions are distributed evenly across all applicable members, ensuring fair and balanced support for all members.

If all members have reached their monthly fund threshold, additional contributions are held to expand capacity and tools, invite more low‑income individuals into the community, and sustain the infrastructure that keeps Unite running.
