our values

Sometimes it's about the thrill of discovering that one perfect item—the missing piece in a collection, the exact bookshelf you’ve been dreaming of, that retro lamp that sparks joy every time you walk by it. It’s about curating your life—not by buying more, but by finding the right fit. 

GOZANN is where the right people find the right things—because they’ve shared something first. It’s a community where generosity unlocks access. Where giving is the new flex. Where finding treasure feels even better because you earned it.GOZANN isn’t just a freecycling marketplace. It’s a movement. It’s your new favorite game. And it’s the future of how we share, shop, and show up for each other.

GOZANN: Play your stuff forward.

Vision: To reimagine generosity as a force that fuels connection, community, and joy.
Why: Because when giving becomes visible, valuable, and fun—everyone wins.

We’re here to rebuild trust in human generosity.

GOZANN: Play your stuff forward.

At GOZANN, we believe that generosity is not a transaction—it’s a transformation.

We’re guided by the simple truth that giving creates connection.
That the things we no longer need still carry value—not just in what they are, but in what they can become when shared.

We believe that generosity is circular.
It moves. It multiplies.
And when it’s made visible, valued, and joyful—it inspires others to do the same.

GOZANN was built on a legacy of open hands and open hearts.
Our philosophy is to honor that spirit by creating a system where:

• Giving is encouraged.
• Contribution is rewarded.
• And community is at the center of everything.

We design for dignity.
We gamify with purpose.
And we grow through kindness.

Because at the end of the day, GOZANN isn’t just about stuff.
It’s about how we treat each other—and the world we share.

We’re not here to disrupt.
We’re here to rebuild trust in human generosity.

GOZANN: Play your stuff forward.

My grandparents gave without hesitation—their door was never locked. If they had a little extra, it was already on its way to someone else. Not because they had to, but because they believed in people—and people showed up for them in return.

My Dad was the kind of man who always picked up the check, proudly tipped big, and made strangers feel like family. I watched how his small gestures made big ripples—how generosity could shift someone’s entire day.

And Mama Bobbie. She doesn’t run from disaster—she generously runs to it to give her time. She built a life around giving. And that kind of life? It’s full. Connected. 

That’s the heartbeat behind GOZANN.
