Common Questions about using AutoGive to pay for elder care
Does AutoGive offer loans or other assistance to help with raising funds for elder care?
No, AutoGive does not offer loans, grants or other funding. We focus all our efforts on making our platform great so you can get your loved one the support they need.
Does using AutoGive require me to be affiliated with a particular nursing home or assisted living brand?
No. AutoGive is an independent enterprise and has no relationship with any elder care community or brand.
Can I use AutoGive donations for supplies and other needs related to my loved one’s care?
Absolutely. The funds you raise through AutoGive are for you to use in support of your loved one. We do recommend you track your spending and save receipts, though.
Does AutoGive partner with and/or offer discounts to any elder care providers?
No, we are currently a fully independent enterprise.
What about supplies or specific services — does AutoGive offer any partner discounts?
No, AutoGive does not partner with any elder care equipment and/or supply industry companies for discounts.
What about my senior loved ones’ friends? Can they help with elder care expenses?
Of course! Group organizers are welcome to invite anyone they feel would make a great addition to their group.
Myself and/or my loved one has friends in other parts of the world — can they participate?
While anyone receiving funds from AutoGive needs to be based in the U.S., anyone anywhere in the world can participate as a group member as long as they have a valid debit card or credit card.
What if my or my loved one’s family and friend circle is small?
That’s okay! Start with the network you do have, and build from there. If your AutoGive circle members are comfortable, they may be willing to invite people too. And, it may be a good idea to post about your AutoGive group on social media (depending on your comfort level).
My loved one wants to manage their own finances. Can I still run an AutoGive program for them?
Yes. How you disburse your group’s funds is up to you, your group and your loved one. Collecting funds and transferring them to your loved one is available by selecting “for someone else” during setup, then inviting them to join the group and add their bank account.
What if my loved one no longer needs support but I still have group funds in my account?
All money collected into your group is deposited weekly. If you decide to end your group, no further donations will be collected. However, any remaining funds will still be deposited to the recipient's bank account.
I still have a question…
No problem! We’d love to hear from you. Contact Us!
