We're passionate about small ways to make a big difference for everyday people. In 2020, on a cross-country road trip, we wondered what wonderful things people would do with free money. Since then, we've been dreaming up ways to make this idea a reality, one project at a time.
Send us a short note to let us know what you need this holiday season, and how much it will cost.
There are no rules or requirements, and no strings attached, however, the more details you can provide, the more likely your request will be answered.
All inquiries will be answered within 7 calendar days. It is critical you include your contact information so we can reach you with our response.
We are a small organization and ask that you keep your requests below $599
If you prefer, please drop us a note at: 599ideas@gmail.com
Please reach us at 599ideas@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
You can ask for whatever you want to ask for. Do you want a new bicycle to get to work? A beautiful piece of art for your living room? To pay off parking tickets? Something for your children? The idea is that this is a gift from us to you, so that you can spend money on something you might not be able to afford otherwise.
There are no rules or requirements to what you include in your request. However, requests that include more details about what you need the money for, and confirmation of how much your needs will cost, are more likely to be approved.
Nothing. When you receive a gift from 599 Ideas, the money is yours to spend, period. We would love to hear from you about how our funds helped make your life just a little better, but it is not a requirement.
No. Your personal information will be kept confidential and never shared. This is an anonymous gift for you to enjoy privately.
If your gift request is approved we will contact you to work out the most convenient way to match you with your money. We understand that people in different situations need different solutions since not everyone uses traditional banking systems.
We are committed to reviewing and responding to your request within 7 calendar days. Once you have been notified, we strive to put money in your hands within another 7 calendar days, however, this will ultimately depend on the method of money transfer.
Please keep your request to $599 or less. There are two reasons for this: first, because we are a small group with limited funds and would like to be able to spread it around; and second, because the US tax code allows us to make tax free payments of up to $600 in
non-employment income per person per year.
You may apply as often as you like, however you are limited to one gift per year.
Funds come from people who have a little more than they need and want to share with people who could use a little more this year. This is not a non-profit, there is not formal organization, we are just people sharing money with other people.
If you have a little more than you need and want to share with others, please reach out to us at 599ideas@gmail.com
