StarStar numbers, for nonprofits only
Spellable ** numbers, sold only to qualified nonprofit organisations.
Nonprofit only
Rainer Agency holds the reseller role for ** numbers and sells them exclusively to qualified nonprofits. The same idea as a #code, aimed at organisations whose whole problem is being remembered in a moment of need rather than at a point of purchase.
If you are a nonprofit, the Hotline Directory lists crisis lines free, and it is run by the same group.
Answered before you have to ask.
Why nonprofits only
A helpline that cannot be remembered is a helpline that does not get called. These go where being remembered in a moment of need matters more than being remembered at a point of purchase, and they are not sold commercially.
How eligibility works
Qualified nonprofit organisations. Ask and we will tell you quickly whether you qualify rather than putting you through a process first.
What else is free to you
The Hotline Directory lists crisis lines, helplines and chat services free to nonprofits and to schools, and it is run by the same group.
