About Us
Who We Are
GIK Marketplace is a centralized marketplace that moves goods and services from corporate suppliers to nonprofits with efficiency and transparency.
We integrate corporations, nonprofits, governments, and logistics providers to close the in-kind giving gap. Using smart matching, we connect nonprofits with the resources they need most while giving corporations and governments full accountability and transparency. The benefits are greater tax value and reporting confidence for suppliers, and reduced administrative burden for responders, with every step documented along the way.
The “second disaster,” resources arriving in the wrong place and disrupting supply chains, is a real problem in disaster relief, and our platform is built to fix it.
Disaster relief is a long process that begins before the storm hits. That is why we built our platform around the three Rs: readiness, response, and recovery.
Readiness
Resources located and relationships in place before the next event.
Response
Matching surplus to verified need during and immediately after a disaster.
Recovery
Support that continues after the immediate emergency passes.
A program of International Aid, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and Four-Star Charity, GIK Marketplace is free to use and does not solicit donations.
A small community of generous private donors funds all operating expenses, and all credit belongs to the corporate suppliers and nonprofit partners who do the work each and every day.
