You give a benefit to people with a high Merit Score. That’s one more reason for someone to help a neighbor. Merit does the rest: it connects people who need help with people ready to help, and keeps everyone’s score.
Tutors, nail techs, plumbers, realtors, lawyers, makers

See what you can do ↓Zillow, Turo, Tinder, TaskRabbit, Airbnb, Uber — any brand where people want to know who they’re dealing with

That’s it. A flyer on your garage, a post on your page, a word to a friend. Something like: “I support kindness. Check out Merit.” It takes one minute and it matters.
This is real impact. A small discount, a free thing, even one item for one person. It doesn’t have to be big. Somebody sees your offer and helps a neighbor for the first time in their life, just to get it. You can turn the offer off anytime.
Merit grows every day: new users, new partners, ads on Meta and Google bringing more people in. That’s a new audience for you. When everything else is equal, people buy from people who share their values. Your benefit puts you on the map, in the feed, and in the community. You become “one of us.”
“I support kindness. I give to people who help others.” That’s a strong message for your page, your clients, your friends. It says: I care, I’m not only about my own profit, and I want our kids to grow up where kindness pays.
Not a slogan. Every benefit in the app is a reason for someone to help. Your grandkids could live in a world where being kind is the normal thing to do, the way “looking out for yourself” is normal today.
Cafés, shops, salons, gyms, repair shops, studios, local services. If you have customers walking through the door or booking online, this is for you.
Tell your staff about Merit and Merit Score. Give a bonus to anyone who reaches a certain score. Kind people make a great team.
“We give a discount to kind people.” It gives your customers extra value, catches attention, and sets you apart from every other place on the street.
Any discount or perk, any size, off anytime. How to list a benefit →
You appear on the map and in the app feed. Everyone in Merit sees you: people who help, people who ask for help, and other business owners. They find you and choose you.
Your business supports kindness. That’s a post, a local news mention, a reason for people to talk about you.
You’re part of something bigger than sales.
You work at a company with a brand, a marketing team, maybe a social impact program. You want to do something that actually changes how people treat each other. Sponsorships are great, but everyone does them, and your customers stopped noticing. This is something different.
Connect us with the person who runs social impact, community, or “good” projects at your company.
Tell your colleagues Merit exists. Slack, newsletter, a lunch talk.
We put your logo as a partner on our site and in the app, and we announce it: a social media post and a blog article about you.
A perk for people with a high Merit Score. Could be your product, a service, an experience.
A post, a joint article, merch, an event. Anything that brings your brand’s power to kindness.
You don’t need extra customers. Most brands sponsor things. Very few brands stand for a change in how people think. Merit lets your brand say: we’re building a kinder society. And a kinder society is good for you: those people buy more, treat your service with more care, sue less, litter less, and return less stuff after using it.
A high Merit Score is hard to earn and takes time. So very few people will actually come for the discount. But the story “we reward kind people” works from day one. Small cost, big message. That’s the best ratio you’ll get.
Clarity over poetry here: this is exactly what happens after you list a benefit.
In the app. Any size, any terms.
And want it.
Real requests, real neighbors.
Every good deed adds to it.
