About & support

Need help?

For help with your account, a group, an event, or a text from 3Block, email support@3block.org.

You can choose which group and event texts you receive in your notification settings. Reply HELP to a 3Block text for help. Reply STOP to block texts from that sender, including sign-in codes. If you want to receive codes again, reply START, then request a new code. START does not turn group and event texts back on; you can choose those in settings.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. See our Terms and Privacy policy.

How we're funded

3Block is donor-supported. It is free for organizers and free for members, and it always will be.

There are no ads here, we don't sell your data, and you won't find follower counts or algorithmic feeds anywhere in the app. 3Block isn't trying to hold your attention — it's trying to help you meet the people who live near you.

Some of that support goes to the groups themselves, as micro-grants organizers can apply for. Micro-grants start at $250 and can grow as groups evolve. They cover a group's real costs — a room deposit, gear, snacks — so organizers are not left paying out of pocket.

In return, every group gives back to its neighborhood a few times a year: a park clean-up, a food drive, a free class — something small and local, paired with whatever the group already loves doing together.
