Longmont, CO — December 2025 — A new Colorado-born community platform is already changing the way local residents help one another. Karmy, a kindness-based app developed in Longmont, makes it easy for people to both give and receive help—while earning rewards from local small businesses for doing good deeds.
In its first week of launch, Coloradans have already stepped up in powerful ways through Karmy, including donating Chromebooks, Fire tablets, an Amazon gift card for Christmas gifts, winter clothing, and presents for multiple children in need. Neighbors have also used the app to request help with yard work, snow shoveling, moving furniture, and finding essential household items.
“I built Karmy because I kept seeing people in our community ask for help online, and too often their posts got buried or missed,” said founder Connor Moynihan of Longmont. “There’s so much good happening already—we just needed one place designed specifically for helping each other. Karmy makes kindness easier, faster, and more visible.”
Karmy allows users to:
Ask for help with anything from holiday gifts to household needs
Volunteer or donate items to neighbors
Give and receive free goods through community sharing
Earn “Karmy Points” for good deeds
Redeem points for local business discounts and freebies
The startup is also gaining quick support from small businesses across Boulder County and the Front Range. Participating shops can offer rewards—such as discounts, BOGO deals, or free items—in exchange for community kindness. This creates a two-way impact: residents get help, and businesses gain visibility and new customers.
“Kindness shouldn’t just feel good—it should create real community impact,” Moynihan added. “Whether it’s a kid who needed a Chromebook or a parent who couldn’t afford Christmas gifts this year, the help coming through Karmy is already making a difference.”
With Colorado in the middle of the holiday season and winter months, the timing couldn’t be more meaningful. As need increases—especially for families facing financial strain—Karmy offers a simple, stigma-free way to connect those who can help with those who need it.
Karmy is free to use and currently available to residents across Longmont, Boulder, Fort Collins, Denver, and surrounding areas, with plans to expand statewide in 2026.
