At Plenishly, we believe that a calmer, zero-waste kitchen in your home can directly help neighbors who face food insecurity. When you save food from spoiling or cook from what you already have, we celebrate that mindfulness by funding meals for community food bank partners.
To protect our community and ensure total transparency and legal compliance under United States charitable solicitation and Commercial Co-Venture (CCV) laws, all charitable giving and milestone matches are structured through an independent Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) partner.
1. Corporate Milestone Matches
Plenishly sponsors meal funding directly out of our corporate operating profits. When you rescue ingredients in your pantry, cook meals on schedule, or avoid emergency takeout, your household reaches milestones (such as every 10 pantry ingredients rescued).
When a milestone is reached, Plenishly records a corporate contribution to community food bank partners. You are never required to pay extra or make a personal donation to trigger a corporate match.
2. Donor-Advised Fund Partnership & Commercial Co-Venture Compliance
Commercial Co-Venture laws in approximately 20 United States jurisdictions regulate promotions where commercial activity is linked to charitable giving. To comply fully with these laws without cumbersome registration overhead or bond requirements that distract from our mission, Plenishly partners with Every.org.
Every.org is an independent, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity and Donor-Advised Fund (EIN: 83-4248443). Plenishly contributes directly to Every.org, which advises and distributes grants to verified non-profit food bank partners, including Feeding America member food banks.
Plenishly is not an unregistered commercial co-venturer and does not solicit donations on behalf of any single private charity without appropriate DAF governance.
3. Annual Corporate Matching Cap
As required by federal and state charitable disclosure rules, Plenishly establishes a transparent maximum cap on corporate milestone contributions:
Plenishly matches up to $10,000 per calendar year in household-generated milestones across our entire user base. Once the annual cap is reached in a calendar year, milestone celebrations continue to track household kitchen achievements without additional corporate fund disbursement until the next calendar year begins.
4. Personal Giving Wallet & Zero-Take Policy
Households may optionally choose to maintain a personal Giving Wallet or pass along savings from takeout-averted evenings to community food programs.
Plenishly never takes a platform cut, percentage, or service fee from user-directed charitable giving. 100% of user-directed funds pass directly through to Every.org for grant distribution to accredited charities.
5. Batch Disbursement and Ledger Accounting
To prevent transaction processing fees from eroding micro-contributions, all corporate matches and user giving ledger balances are aggregated and batched monthly.
On the first business day of each month, pending balances in the ledger are reconciled and disbursed in a single corporate transfer to Every.org. This protects charitable dollars from micro-transaction credit card fees.
