Thrive Gives distributes free one-year memberships in three ways. First, we work with established nonprofit organizations such as Blue Star Families, Wellfare and FoodCorps to distribute memberships to their constituents. Second, we distribute free one-year memberships directly on our site via an online application for low income families, students and public servants. Applicants that fall under the teacher, student, veteran, first responder, or nurse group are sent to a third-party verification system called ID.me. With ID.me, we are able to instantly verify applicants. Third, our Member Services team offers a free one-year membership via chat, email, or phone to families in need that cannot afford a membership.
If you want to be part of the Thrive Market community but can't afford a paid membership, Gives is here for you. If you’re new to Thrive Market, apply online here. Already a paid member? Reach out to our Member Services team by chat, email, or phone.
