How are partner businesses selected?

We work with trusted, established local providers who meet verification standards and align with our service integrity requirements.

Can businesses apply to become partners?

Yes. Local businesses that provide essential services can request to be reviewed for inclusion in our partner network.

Partnership Model | Give 'Em A Break Foundation

Our payout model is clear and strict: Give 'Em A Break Foundation never gives cash directly to applicants. Instead, we work through a network of trusted partners, such as licensed auto mechanics, landlords, and utility companies. Each vendor must provide a valid EIN and a formal invoice, so every payment is fully documented and traceable. This method nearly eliminates the risk of funds being misused. For recipients, it means essential needs like car repairs, rent, or utilities are met quickly and professionally. For donors, especially those using the Arizona charitable tax credit, it offers strong assurance that their contributions are managed with the highest integrity. This operational discipline is why we are trusted to handle significant donor funds and why accountants and CPAs often recommend us as a secure, qualified giving option.
