Dear MEL Topic Readers,

How charity apps may be making us more generous

When and how do you give money to those who are in need or causes that make the world better? Most of the charitable donations is made in traditional ways, such as cash, deposit, cards, and checks. But if there is an app that links your certain spending to a registered cause, will that make you more generous?

In fact, with Application Programming Interfaces (API), you can donate a preset amount or percentage of a transaction you make with your smartphone. For example, you can donate a certain percentage of a ride sharing or hailing service fee to a cause that tries to protect the environment. Also, you can give some money to those who can’t find today’s bread every time you pay a restaurant tab. Though each amount may be small, you’ll feel generous each time. And of course, they add up.

It’s just like crowdfunding, the practice of funding a project by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, usually via the Internet. New technologies are surely changing the way people can help others and people are helped.

Enjoy reading the article and learn about new ways to make you more generous.
