WHY THIS EXISTS

Small nonprofits punch above their weight. LADLE makes that math easier. $8/mo of your subscription is earmarked for hunger relief and pooled toward a real partnership with the hunger-relief charity we select — small mission ourselves, in the sense that matters.

Questions.

Not currently. Every subscriber pays $20/mo; every subscriber reserves 10 meals per month in the meal fund, pooled toward the $50,000/year partnership threshold. If a discount would meaningfully change your ability to use the tool, email hello@ladle.chat — small case-by-case options exist.
