Here for whatever you're going through
Every family's hardest season looks different.
Start with the one that sounds like yours.
Trusted by families, care teams,
and advocates across the US.
SupportNow has been a soft place to land in the chaos of caregiving and grief. Friends were able to look into our life, pull together a list, and populate options to support our family in the hardest seasons. This site surpasses any on the market in flexibility, care and detail.

SupportNow is a far superior platform to get support for family, friends, or community in times of crisis. You get 1:1 support, you get to keep 100% of $$$ raised for your cause, and you get to choose exactly what support you need.

SupportNow made it so easy for us to raise funds for adaptive equipment for our son. It was an incredible way to connect with the beautiful community that surrounds our family.

How it works

Free, and ready in minutes.

Share one easy link
Invite friends and family to help in one place.
Questions? We're here to help.
We allow every form of support, in one place. SupportNow and our team know what it is like to walk through the most difficult life moments. Not only do we know how to walk through it, but we know how to do it well.
As soon as people start asking how they can help. You do not need a plan or a total. Starting the page early gives your community somewhere to put the offers before they pile up in your texts.
Either the family or a close friend. Many families are too deep in it to organize anything, so a sibling, neighbor, or coworker sets the page up and hands over access later.
Start with what you do know and add the rest later. Most organizers open with meals and updates, then turn on donations or volunteer requests once the family says what would actually help.
Creating a Support Page is free. There is no subscription and no paid tier. If the family is fundraising, supporters can round up to cover payment processing, which is how families keep 100% of what is given.
CaringBridge is built for health updates and does not send money to the family. SupportNow carries the updates plus the donations, meals, and volunteer help in the same place.
Meal Train® organizes the meal calendar. SupportNow does that alongside fundraising, volunteer requests, and updates, so your community only has one link to remember.
GoFundMe handles money only, and takes a cut of every donation. SupportNow lets supporters cover processing costs so families keep 100%, and adds the non-financial help families ask for just as often.
