Apps for Dollars
May 7, 2010
Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember… you are the medicine.
-Maria Sabina, Mazatec Poet,1894-1985
Mobile phone apps are making donating easy, reports The NonProfit Times (April, 15, 2010)...

"Nonprofits are upping their tech game by creating smart phone apps, which can enable donors and constituents to give or volunteer in quick and simple ways....  More importantly, charity apps bring something different to the table;  they combine education and fun." 

For example, through the use of a simple iPhone app, CauseWorld, in partnership with DonorsChoose.org, allows consumers to earn "karmas" for each restaurant, clothing store, and supermarket they check-in on their mobile phone.  Cell phone users can accumulate up to ten karmas, which they can give to charity.  Kraft and Citibank donate at a rate fixed for each cause.  Donors also have the opportunity to learn more about each cause before donating to it.

  • Whom Can We Ask (and Keep Asking) for Money?
