Support, within reach.Local needs meet local resources.
One community, more connected
Make it easier to find the help already here.
A modern coordination platform for the people doing the work: residents, nonprofits, civic teams and neighborhood partners.
Surface the right support
Organizations and community resources become easier to discover, coordinate and keep up to date.
Close the loop together
Partners can coordinate handoffs and learn where the community needs more capacity, with people at the center.
A different kind of technology
Public good is the product.
Reciprocity began with a simple belief: what a community member needs may already be within reach. Better connections help existing organizations, volunteers and neighbors meet those needs together.
We build alongside the people closest to the work—so the system reflects a community’s strengths, not just its software.

“A better-connected community is built when people can give from what they’ve received.”Our founding idea · Pontiac, Michigan
Rooted in mutual aid
Built for the moments that bring us together.
The original ReciproCity work emerged from a local mutual-aid effort during 2020, helping Oakland County neighbors find support and organizing emergency food delivery. This next chapter keeps that community-first purpose in focus.
Better connections start with a conversation
Let’s make support easier to reach.
