While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

  1. Non-Bank Financial Service

Written by the company

A Better Gift is a private fundraising platform built for friends and family. Unlike public crowdfunding sites that broadcast personal struggles to the internet, A Better Gift lets you ask the people who already care about you for financial help — privately, simply, and with dignity. Whether you're facing unexpected medical bills, car repairs, rent shortfalls, funeral costs, or other life expenses, A Better Gift gives you a private space to share your situation with trusted contacts and receive direct financial support. Funds go straight to your bank account. No public page. No strangers. No charity stigma. Founded on the belief that the people who want to help you already exist — and that asking for help shouldn't require broadcasting your story to the world — A Better Gift is the modern alternative to public crowdfunding for real-life expenses. Available in the United States. Funds are processed securely through established financial partners. Personal information stays between you and the people you choose to share it with.

A Better Gift helped when I needed it

A Better Gift helped me to receive funds to pay my bills- I ended up doing a request for my power bill that was so high and was almost shut off. I created a request easily on A Better Gift and shared it privately only with my friends and family and selective people on social media I wanted to know about my situations. I did not want public exposure and A Better Gift was exactly what I needed when I was in dire need.
I know I will use it again even - my birthday is coming up and I would much rather set up an request for funds for my birthday rather than stuff I really don't need as a priority right now in my life.
If you're considering A Better Gift, I'd recommend it. It's a private, simple alternative to GoFundMe that respects the personal nature of asking for help.
