Buy a year of peace for someone else.

Donor-funded sponsorships let a partnered nonprofit gift a year of Lite, or a Starter pack, to one of their members — at no cost to them, and with our promise to never market to them.

Donate & Sponsor

We don't have a partner list yet — that's where you come in.

This page exists ahead of the program because the most important thing we can do this year is build the right list. If you run a hospice, grief group, faith community, or care nonprofit — or if you'd like to sponsor one when it joins — write to us below. We'll start the program when we have three partners we trust.

One donor, one nonprofit, one private account.

The shape of the program is simple. The work is in choosing partners carefully, and protecting the recipient's privacy from start to finish.

step 01

You choose the package.

Any of our four Starter packs ($19-$119) — or the annual Lite plan, sponsored for one person for a full year.

step 02

You choose the nonprofit.

From our list of partnered organizations. Each partner has a small caseworker team that decides who receives a sponsorship.

step 03

The partner matches a member.

Discreetly. The recipient gets a written note from the nonprofit, and never an ad from us. Your name is shared only if you want it to be.

step 04

We get out of the way.

The recipient records on their own time. No follow-up emails, no upsells. Once a year we send the partner a one-page anonymized impact letter.

what we'll look for in a partner

01 • trust

Already holds the relationship.

The partner has an existing, trusted relationship with the people who would receive a sponsorship — a hospice nurse, a grief counselor, a chaplain. We don't want to be the ones knocking on a door for the first time.

02 • discretion

Comfortable with quiet.

The partner is willing to introduce a sponsorship in their own words, not ours. No press releases, no logos required, no obligation to publish anything we ever send them.

03 • match capacity

Can determine compatibility.

One staff member or volunteer who can spend twenty minutes a month deciding which member would benefit from the next sponsorship — and writing a short note when they hand it over.

Contact us to get started.

Pick the side that matches you. Both get a reply within five business days.

For nonprofits

Nominate an NPO.

Yourself, or one you love. We'll write back within five business days, and if it feels like a fit, we'll send a short application.

For donors

Sponsor when we're ready.

Tell us roughly what you'd like to fund and we'll write to you the day we open the program — first cohort, Q3 2026.

Are sponsorships tax-deductible?

Not yet. Say Goodbye is a for-profit company. The sponsorship is a purchase, not a donation, even when the recipient is a member of a nonprofit. If we ever set up a 501(c)(3) arm, we'll say so plainly. For now, think of it as a gift, not a write-off.

Can I direct a sponsorship to a specific person?

No — and that's intentional. The partner nonprofit decides who receives a sponsorship, based on who in their care could most use a private account this season. It protects the recipient from feeling singled out and keeps you out of a position you probably don't want to be in.

Will the recipient know who I am?

Only if you ask. By default, sponsorships are anonymous — the recipient gets a note from the nonprofit, not from you. If you'd like your name shared, tell us and we'll ask the partner to pass it along.

What does the recipient actually get?

A redemption code, a short letter from the partner, and a private account on Say Goodbye. They use it on their own time. We don't email them to "activate," "explore features," or include any other call to action. If they never use it, the partner can re-assign the sponsorship.

Why aren't there partners on this page yet?

Because we'd rather start with three nonprofits we know well than thirty we don't. Adding partners is a slow, careful process — interviews, a small pilot, then a public listing. If you'd like to be one, the form above goes straight to Natalie.

Can businesses sponsor at scale?

Yes — that's a workplace partnership, which lives on our Partnerships page. The sponsorships above are for individual donors and small groups.
