Our Programs
In the past, Guess and Give has raised money through our events for specific, existing charities. This year is a little bit different...
​
In 2025, Guess and Give formally incorporated as a California public benefit nonprofit charity whose purpose is to conduct, support, and promote charitable activities that assist children in need, the distressed, the underprivileged, the advancement of education, and for related charitable purposes. This means that our events now support Guess and Give itself as a charity, and we now have the opportunity to design and manage our own programs!
​
Our programs fall into two categories: direct assistance and grants. Direct assistance programs provide support directly to individuals and families in need. For example, our Educational Support Direct Assistance program helps families and individuals in-need with school age children to obtain school supplies and ensure their academic success.
​
Our grant programs operate a bit differently. While this program is similar to how Guess and Give has operated in the past by partnering with existing charities, these programs no longer designate funds for specific organizations from the start. Instead, each grant is created with a defined purpose, and we then collaborate with trusted charities to carry out that mission. ​
