About this app

Altruify is the only software which allows users to generate charitable donations based upon their use of their favorite technologies. With Altruify, users assign a monetary value to their normal use of their favorite technologies. Activities including sending emails or text messages, taking pictures with their mobile device, interactions on social media, physically taking steps tracked on a fitness app, streaming media, all the way down to keystrokes and mouse clicks can be used to generate charitable donations. Users assign a monetary value to each of their interactions with any of the technology interactions the user chooses to monetize. Users then simply use their chosen technologies to start generating charitable donations based upon their actions on their chosen technologies. At regular intervals, Altruify will debit the users funding account in the amount corresponding to the user’s interactions with their chosen technologies and the monetary values the user assigned to each one of their technology interactions. Donated funds are then transferred to the user’s chosen charities. Altruify is a 501(c)(3) which has partnered with other reputable 501(c)(3) organizations who receive funds donated through Altruify. Users can choose which charities or charitable cause themes their donated funds go toward. On Altruify’s web and mobile apps users are able to track their donations over time, manage and limit their donation amounts, change which charities receive their donations and research new charities to donate to.
