We believe strongly in "When you give, you get back tenfold."
Now, that's a good exchange rate.


Donors, do your jobs and chores fill up your days so much that you don't get a moment to participate in philanthropy, no matter how great it feels? Tight budget? No amount is too small, every cent adds up to make for serious change. For all nonprofits immersed in daily "feel good" missions, sustainability comes from remembering that the bills still have to get paid. Here everybody wins and we call it our Good Karma Exchange. All donors recieve a thank you letter /donation verification tax-deductible receipt. FYI: Here is Matter of Trust's Federal ID#: 06-1530091 and IRS Tax Exemption Letter (PDF).

Grantmakers we invite you to visit our Major Grants and Foundations Page or call us at 415 235 2403.

Our program provides convenient ways for charities to furnish offices, stock shelves and supply the public while allowing donors to post household or business surplus items & materails. Nonprofits near you can often accept drop-offs or provide pick-ups.
