In a world where disaster response and community support are often slowed by red tape, outdated systems, and budget constraints, non-profit leaders are being asked to do more—with less. Whether you’re leading volunteer networks, managing emergency programs, or stewarding donor contributions, one thing is clear: the need for fast, transparent, and responsible disbursement methods has never been more critical.

At Tillo, we believe financial support should never be a bottleneck. It should empower. That’s why we’ve built a scalable rewards and disbursements platform designed with non-profits in mind—providing secure, mission-aligned solutions that deliver real impact where and when it matters most.

Empowering Aid with Dignity and Choice

Traditional methods like paper checks and generic gift cards can unintentionally limit the dignity of aid recipients. Worse, they can slow down the very support you’re working tirelessly to provide.

With Tillo, you can offer open-loop and closed-loop reward options that empower recipients with real choice—while still aligning with program guidelines (e.g., restrictions on alcohol, tobacco, or firearms). This flexibility allows you to distribute aid at scale while maintaining control, ensuring compliance, and fostering dignity through autonomy.

Whether you’re responding to hurricanes, wildfires, or community-specific emergencies, our digital platform helps you get support into the hands of those who need it—within hours, not weeks.

Optimize Volunteer and Employee Engagement

Your people are the backbone of your mission. Volunteers, staff, and community leaders often go above and beyond—yet many organizations struggle to recognize that effort in meaningful, budget-conscious ways.

Tillo’s StoreFront solution allows you to create a branded, internal rewards hub. Imagine being able to offer custom digital incentives, local gift card options, or discounted experiences to show appreciation while reinforcing your values. It’s a tangible way to boost morale, increase retention, and acknowledge the tireless dedication of your community, without burdening your team with complex logistics or high costs.

Designed for Non-Profits, Built for Scale

We understand the unique challenges non-profits face. From sudden policy changes affecting funding to the need for swift, compliant action in crisis situations, our solution is built to respond with agility and trust.

Unlike traditional vendors or internal systems that may not scale, Tillo offers:

  • Responsible distribution alternatives to checks and physical gift cards
  • International reach for organizations supporting global communities
  • Integration flexibility to match your current systems and processes
  • Mission-first design, ensuring every feature serves your goals
