Can I back your mission and give my reward to a uniformed service member? Yes. You may gift your reward to a loved one, friend, or colleague who is an active, retired, or disabled police or corrections officer, military service member, veteran, firefighter, or emergency medical service professional. Click the amount you want to back, fill out the form, check the “Is this a gift?” box, and click Back Our Mission.

After backing your mission, how do I give my reward to a uniformed service member? Log in to your account page and navigate to the Gifts tab. When you click on the Gifts tab, you’ll see options. One of these options is “Send Gift Email.” It allows you to send an email to the gift recipient. Once you complete the form, an email will be sent to the recipient with a link to redeem their gifted reward. After the gift recipient receives the email, they can click on the link provided in the email to get their reward. They will fill out a form like a first-time backer would use to back our mission. Once the gift recipient clicks the Back Our Mission button, they can access their account and receive the reward. Another option on the Gifts tab is the “Copy Gift URL.” Clicking this will copy the gifted reward URL you can send to the recipient. This can be handy if, for example, the gift recipient doesn’t receive or loses the email containing the link. Your account page’s Gifts tab also lets you know whether the gift has been claimed.

If I gifted my reward to another person, do I also get it? No. When a user gifts their reward, they automatically get an account if they don’t have one already. They can log in to their account page and navigate to the Gifts for available options.

How many times can I support your mission? You may back our mission as many times as you want. Your support is not a recurring subscription. Log in to your account, navigate to our Back Us page, click the amount you want to back, fill out the form, and click Back Our Mission.

Are rewards guaranteed? No. There’s some risk that, despite our efforts, we cannot fulfill your reward, such as because of your technology. Please consider this risk before backing up our mission.
