How it works
Golden Hint, start to finish
Three things in one place: an exchange where charities trade skills, an honest guide to starting a charity, and a library for running one well.
The Exchange
Charities list what they're good at (offers) and what they need (requests). When two charities agree to work together, they accept a short agreement covering scope, time, format and credits. The work happens through private messages, calendar links and a shared space for files. When both sides confirm it's done, the credits move, and both leave a short review.
Golden Hint also suggests mutual matches: pairs of charities where each can help the other.
Credits
One hour of expert help earns one credit; one credit buys an hour of help from anyone else. Credits have no cash value and can't be bought or sold. How credits work.
Start a Charity
A seven-stage pathway with checklists, templates, real fees, golden hints and five tools. See the pathway.

Opening in phases
- Phase one (live now): the brand, the founder pathway and tools, the resources library, news, the Trust Centre and the waitlist.
- Phase two: membership with verification, profiles, the Exchange, messaging, the credit wallet and ledger, the member dashboard and the forum.
- Phase three: smart matching, mentoring and peer circles, events, funder credit pools and company volunteering programs, gifting credits, status tiers and badges, and the public impact report.
