I’d like an app that lets me manage my donations:
- Show me what I’ve donated so far this year, and how it compares to my goal.
- Show me a breakdown of who I’ve donated to, and how much.
- It’d be neat if it shows me where my friends are donating to, and how much people around me are donating (thus encouraging me to give more).
Why? Because I want to donate, but I forget to. I either forget to write the checks, or I forget whom I’ve given to.
I would also like this app to let me donate easily. I want to put in my payment information, choose the organizations, and the app will automatically pay them monthly, quarterly or yearly.
Today I have to write a paper check and physically mail the donation. Or I have to go to each organization’s site and put in my credit card info. I’m donating monthly for 3 organizations, and the last time my card expired, I had to update my card with each place – I even had to call one of the organizations. It should not be this hard to give money away.
