I wish I had this

To me, micro gifting isn't about fixing poverty, teaching lessons, or promising change. It's sweet, simple, and selfish. It's childhood Turibius's wish from when he was in Bangladesh:
I wish I had this.
I wished I had a RC drone. I wished I had nerf guns. I wished I had the fish catching toy that I begged mom to buy, but she said no—because she knew we couldn't readily afford it.

And I wished—that one day when I grow up—I would see a child begging his mom for a fish catching toy, and I would buy it for them. No speeches, no expectations, not even needing the toy to last. It's just a gift.

Micro gifting is that wish, handed forward. I don't need anything back. I don't expect anything back. I just want to hand little Turibius a gift that he could once only wish for.

Brief Scope

Micro gifting is an idea, free of charge, with no acknowledgements required. It is not a charity, scholarship, nor financial support. There is no promise of future rounds, no cash gifts, no political/religious/marketing agendas.

Micro gifting involves a fundamental human-to-human connection, and as such, its size is limited by the capabilities of the real people running it.

And just like a gift, don't expect anything in return. No photos, no testimonials, no surveys—ever.

  • Human-to-human

  • No promises

  • No expectations

  • No agenda

Micro gifting isn't a single program.

It's an idea, that anyone can take, modify, and implement. Feel free to utilize any and all of the methodologies, logistics, and concepts that we present here to start your own micro gifting unit. If you are starting your own unit and want a website, feel free to reach out to me, and I can create a subdomain for you, free of charge:
