1. 9 MOBILE APPS
THAT SUPPORT CHARITY
CREATED BY SCOT ULMER

2. 1. i can go without
I Can Go Without simply allows people
to swap a WANT, for someone else’s
NEED.
It is an app that encourages users to
pledge to make lifestyle changes (such
as giving up a cup a coffee each week)
and then enables users to donate the
money that they save to nonprofits.

3. 2. HelpBridge
HelpBridge lets you notify your
friends and family by text,
email or a message to your
Facebook wall that you are
okay when a disaster happens.
Those messages can include
your location, too. It also
allows you to browse
volunteer opportunities during
crisis situations.

4. 3. Google One Today
GIVE A LITTLE, CHANGE A LOT
One Today lets you
donate $1 each day to
causes and nonprofits
that inspire you. It’s a
community of generous
people doing one good
deed a day. It allows you
to create a culture of
giving every day, which
in turn, can make you
feel like you’re making a
consistent positive
change in the world!

5. 4. Check-in for Good
Check in at the places you love, raise
money for the causes you care about.
This is an app that enables users to check­
in on their device to participating retail
locations to generate micro­donations to
nonprofits. It is also free for business to
create a free Check­in for Good Cause
page, which can help you realize your
vision by increasing awareness,
mobilizing supporters, building
partnerships and raising funds.

6. 5. Charity Miles
An app that enables users to earn money
for charity when they walk, run, or bike.
Donate without dipping into your bank
account, and become a sponsored athlete?
That’s a beautiful thing.
Charity Miles is the easiest way to integrate
philanthropy into your daily workout by
earning money and raising awareness for
charities each time you exercise – just turn
on the app, choose a charity and press
start.

7. 6. Instead
This “micro donations, macro impact” app is
all about tapping into our everyday choices.
For example, instead of spending $15 a week
on buying coffee every morning, you decide to
make it at home, and save the $15. Each time
you brew a coffee at home, you can log it in the
app and donates a few bucks.
The app clearly displays the impact of your
choice — so in lieu of your regular store-
bought coffee, those few dollars could provide
a South Sudanese child with clean water for a
year.

8. 7. Budge
Budge is a great way to spice up
any friendly challenge. With the
Budge app, you can create a
challenge with your friends or
family, and the loser has to pay an
agreed upon donation. This can be
a fun motivation tool when
training for a sporting event,
losing weight or keeping on top of
your most recent goals.

9. 8. VolunteerMatch
Tapping the most popular
volunteer network online, the
VolunteerMatch app lets you
search volunteer opportunities
by your location, learn about
what is involved and share with
your network. So, the next time
you are sitting around
wondering what to do on
Saturday, open the
VolunteerMatch app and decide
where to donate your time.

10. 9. JustGive
The JustGive app is
possibly the easiest
online app for making
traditional donations.
Just browse or search
listed charities and
make a donation
quickly and easily. It
really is THAT easy!
