Give to any charity— even the ones with paper forms.
You shouldn’t have to enter your card on a charity’s outdated website or fill out paper forms to support a cause you believe in. Pay once through DirectStep. We’ll deliver your gift the way the charity prefers—by ACH, by check, or through their existing page.

Choose a charity, choose an amount, pay through one trusted checkout. No more weighing whether to enter your card on a site you don’t recognize.
We handle the back end—ACH transfer, mailed check, or passthrough to their existing donation page. The charity doesn’t have to change anything.
We email you when the gift has been delivered. The charity issues your tax receipt directly, the same as if you’d given on your own.
“Three or four times a month, a charity I want to support mails me an appeal—and I don’t give, because the only options are an outdated website or a paper return envelope. DirectStep is the tool I wished existed. If you’ve felt the same, try it once. Tell me what worked and what didn’t.”
