The team at Sparrow Giving (Ari Kagan and Nick Fitz) may have thoughts on getting people interested in charitable microtransactions, though I don’t know whether their tech is at all similar to what you want to set up.
Thanks Aaron! I’ve heard a little bit about Sparrow Giving and I think a key overlap is nudging people to donate by making donations relevant to an activity someone is doing—so the behavioral aspect. The difference is we’re specifically focusing on peer to peer cash transfers rather than being charity agnostic. Given, I think, the alignment of intentions, will reach out to Ari and Nick in case they have helpful insight into what Jeremy and I are trying to do.
Your idea of integrating a non-profit tech platform to encourage individuals to donate funds as unconditional cash transfers is a unique and impactful one! The idea of having a donation button at the checkout step, with a context-relevant message, is a great way to raise awareness and encourage individuals to give back. And the fact that the API links to a continuously maintained database of recipients, allowing for almost real-time donations, is a fantastic feature. Ecommerce Development Agency is always on the lookout for innovative ways to make a positive impact in the world through e-commerce and they might be interested in your project.
