Whitelist Request

For IT departments reviewing iwanttomowyourlawn.com

Our domain is sometimes miscategorized by web filtering products, which causes connection errors for users on managed networks — county, hospital, school, VA, and corporate. This page has the information you need to verify the domain and add it to your allow list.

If you’re an employee or case manager whose IT department is blocking our site, please forward this URL to them. The page is written for them, not for you.

What we are NOT: Not a vendor or lead-gen site. Not a marketplace. Not user-generated content. Not adult, gambling, or P2P. Not a phishing or malware host. We do operate a small merch shop (iwanttomowyourlawn.com/shop) that funds operations.

What this site does

iwanttomowyourlawn.com is the public website of a nationwide volunteer-driven nonprofit that connects volunteers with older adults, veterans, and neighbors who need free lawn care. Case managers, social workers, county aging-services departments, and VA caseworkers regularly use the site to submit requests on behalf of their clients.

When the site is blocked on a county, hospital, or VA network, those case managers cannot refer clients to a no-cost service that’s already helping their caseload. That’s the practical impact of a misclassification.

Request recategorization with your filter vendor

If your organization uses one of these filtering products, the fastest fix is to submit a URL recategorization request through the vendor’s review form. All of these are free and most process within a few business days:

Vendor not listed?

Almost every web-filter product has a “Submit URL for review” form. Searching “[vendor name] URL recategorization” usually finds it.

When submitting, suggested category: Society / Charitable Organizations / Non-profit Advocacy. Brief description: “501(c)(3) nonprofit connecting volunteers with older adults and veterans who need free lawn care.”

Common questions

What’s typically being blocked, and why?

The most common report is ERR_CONNECTION_RESET on county, hospital, VA, or government networks. The usual cause is a default-block category like “Newly Registered Domain,” “Uncategorized,” or “Personal Sites / Blogs.” Our domain has been registered since 2020 and is operated by a recognized 501(c)(3), but vendor categorization databases sometimes lag — especially for nonprofits without a large commercial footprint.

Does the site set cookies or run anything that would concern security?

The site runs on WordPress (LiteSpeed) with standard caching and analytics. We don’t load cryptominers, ad networks, or any third-party trackers beyond standard analytics. The site is HTTPS-only with a valid TLS certificate. We collect contact information from volunteers and homeowners who choose to sign up — that data is stored on a managed server, is not sold or shared with third parties, and is governed by our privacy policy.

Is there a subset of pages we could allow if the full domain is too broad?

Whitelisting the full domain is simpler and recommended. If your organization requires path-level rules, the critical paths case managers and intake users actually need are:

• /client-signup/ — homeowner intake form

• /volunteer-coverage-map/ — coverage lookup

• /how-it-works/ — service overview

• /contact/ — direct contact

• /for-it-departments/ — this page

Can you provide additional documentation for our procurement or vendor management process?

Yes — we can provide a W-9, our IRS Determination Letter, a Certificate of Liability Insurance, or anything else your process requires. Call 862-66-MOWER or use the contact paths below and we’ll send what’s needed.

Who do I contact at IWTMYL to verify anything on this page?

Our director can be reached directly at 862-66-MOWER (862-666-6937) or via the contact page. Voicemails and emails are checked daily.
