Crosstalk Connections

Support Crosstalk

Help us get this off the ground and into the hands of the people who benefit.

Crosstalk Connections, Inc. is an early-stage 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We operate a working service that connects people in addiction recovery and people experiencing loneliness with supportive peers, every day, for free. Our focus now is straightforward: keep the service running, and reach more of the people it was built for.

Give once or monthly, in whatever amount is right for you. Stripe securely processes each donation, and Give Lively provides the fundraising platform without charging Crosstalk a platform fee. Apart from Stripe's card-processing fee, your donation goes directly to Crosstalk's work.

Crosstalk Connections, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 99-4453862). Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. You will receive a receipt for your records.

How your gift helps

So far, this work has been powered by volunteered time. A donation helps us keep Crosstalk free for the people who use it and extend it to more individuals who could benefit. Concretely, donations pay for the technology infrastructure behind every call, outreach to the communities we serve, evaluation of our current pilots, and the small team doing that work, whom we hope to bring on full time.

  • The service is free to the people who use it. Donations are what make that possible.
  • We're reaching farther, not coasting. Your support goes toward operating the service and getting it to more people who need it.
  • Every gift counts. As a young organization, support of any size genuinely helps us move forward.

Other ways to help

  • Be of service. Volunteer if you have solid recovery time and can be available for newcomers, or keep a regular call with an isolated older adult or disabled member. Reach out and we'll find the right fit.
  • Tell someone who'd benefit. Share Crosstalk with a person in recovery or someone who's isolated.
  • Connect us with a program. If you work with a treatment program or a community organization, we'd welcome an introduction.
  • Partner with us. Organizations can bring Crosstalk to the people they serve.
  • Help us grow. Introductions, partnerships, and lent expertise move this work forward as much as dollars do. If you can open a door, we'd like to talk.
