GiveSafe enables a cashless, effective contribution the moment you see a need on the street. It's a mobile app that enables people to know when they're in direct proximity to someone who's got a profile on GiveSafe and has identified ways in which they may need  help or be open to meeting app users on the street to connect.
"It is rare to see a frustration so commonly experienced and yet so unaddressed—specifically, knowing how to respond when confronted with someone in need on the street. GiveSafe makes it simple to give, with clarity that a contribution will help a person advance their life.
GiveSafe distributes electronic “beacons”, about the size of a quarter, to individuals in need through nonprofit shelters (starting with the Union Gospel Mission in Seattle). If you have the GiveSafe app and pass by or meet a beacon holder, you'll receive a simple notification with the opportunity to give or learn of the person's journey."
