Understand how philanthropic campaigns work, how support is counted, and how community momentum helps attract large-scale giving.
A Philanthropic Campaign is a community advocacy campaign that asks a company, foundation, or philanthropic organization to make Qualified General Contributions to children's Trump Accounts. Residents can rally support around one company and show measurable local demand through supporter counts.
The campaign is aimed at a company's philanthropic arm, charity partner, corporate foundation, or other philanthropic donor. It is not asking the company to contribute through a workplace benefit plan. That is handled separately through Employer/Workplace Campaigns.
It is a philanthropic contribution made for the benefit of children in a defined community. In this website's philanthropic flow, the ask is framed around helping eligible children in a ZIP code and then demonstrating countywide and statewide momentum from that same support base.
Important: Philanthropic contributions are treated separately from family and employer contribution channels.
No. Philanthropic contributions are described throughout this application as an unlimited contribution channel. They do not count toward the child's $5,000 annual family/community limit.
In the current application flow, philanthropic campaigns are created at the ZIP code level. County and state momentum are then derived automatically from supporters who sign from ZIP codes within the same county and state.
Because one verified supporter strengthens all three ladders at once. When a resident signs from a ZIP code, the app uses the resident's ZIP, county, and state profile to increase:
This helps a small local campaign snowball into stronger regional evidence of demand.
The platform uses passwordless email verification. To create or join a campaign, users verify their email using a one-time password (OTP) and provide their location profile.
Up to 100. The current backend rules enforce a maximum of 100 philanthropic campaigns per user across campaigns they create or join.
No. The application checks whether your verified identity has already signed a specific campaign scope. If you already signed, the page thanks you, records that your support is already on file, and encourages you to share the campaign instead of signing again.
The campaign is created for the selected ZIP code, you are automatically added to the campaign's support ladder, and your support is counted toward ZIP, county, and state momentum. The campaign also becomes discoverable to other residents in the relevant area.
Yes. Residents using the same application can discover nearby campaigns through the My Campaigns dashboard and campaign pages. When they join, their verified support increases the campaign's regional momentum.
The app is designed around the idea that strong visible demand matters. Large philanthropic foundations and corporate donors are more likely to consider funding a region when many real residents have already expressed support. Sharing helps grow the signature count faster.
No. This application is an advocacy, discovery, and organizing platform. It tracks campaign momentum and community support, but it does not process or custody contributions itself.
The current create flow supports optional campaign metadata such as a fundraising goal and a charity or organization identifier. These fields help you organize the campaign but are not required to launch it.
The homepage messaging currently says the platform plans to contact the business once a philanthropic campaign crosses 100 supporters. That message is intended to reflect strong community demand before outreach begins.
Philanthropic contributions are pooled as Qualified General Contributions for that specific geographic area. When an organization funds a ZIP code campaign, the total donation is divided equally among all legally registered, active Trump Accounts belonging to eligible children residing within that ZIP code.
No. Philanthropic campaigns are designed strictly for community-wide support. Under official program guidelines, corporate and foundational donations cannot be earmarked for an individual, specific child. To fund a single, specific child, donors must use the private family contribution channel.
You can only have one employer at a time, so you are limited to one Employer Campaign. However, you can support multiple philanthropic efforts. For example, a parent can advocate for their own ZIP code, nearby ZIP codes where extended family lives, or separate campaigns targeting different corporate donors in their state.
To receive a share of the philanthropic payout, the child must:
The campaign page tracks community demand, but actual account verification is handled directly by the official IRS process.
If a target organization declines, your community momentum is not wasted. Your supporter count remains visible on the platform. You can pivot campaign messaging and outreach toward a different local foundation, community trust, or corporate donor that may be more receptive to funding your ZIP code.
No. To keep campaign momentum data accurate and credible for potential donors, supporters must verify their own local residential profile (ZIP, county, and state). Family members living elsewhere cannot sign your specific ZIP code campaign, but they can create and share campaigns for their own local areas.
