My friends and I have built a very early MVP of Good Wallet, a platform that lets anyone set up a public page where supporters can “tip” them into a dedicated wallet. The page‑owner can later direct those accumulated funds to effective nonprofits of their choice—think “Buy Me a Coffee,” but the cash stays in a personal, donor‑advised‑fund‑like pot until the owner donates. We’d love the EA community’s help pressure‑testing the concept.

All feedback—positive, negative, or nit‑picky—is greatly appreciated!
Where we are
We’re in an exploratory phase: we have an MVP live, and would like to get feedback on its real‑world value, trust dynamics, and product direction. We’d love honest critiques before investing more engineering and outreach effort.
Why Good Wallet might be useful?
Lower friction for small donations. Many people happily toss a few euros to creators they follow; we want to channel that impulse toward high‑impact charities. Owners decide when and how much of their balance to grant.
Introduces a new way to show appreciation or support someone beyond monetary transactions.
Mini‑DAF functionality for everyone. Today, donor‑advised funds typically require large minimums. Good Wallet aims to offer flexibility at any scale: supporters donate now; creators batch‑grant later.
We plan to follow GiveWell’s recommendations for the charities we offer, so supporters can be confident their tips eventually reach high‑impact organisations.
Our long term vision is to offer a public API that enables the use of the Good Wallet as a payment system. With that, any platform or service (think loyalty cards, marketplaces, etc.) can integrate charitable giving as a means of “payment”.
Again, this is at a very early stage, and we are hoping to get any kind of insightful feedback. Don’t hold back and let us know what you think.
