✦ About Donatyns ✦
Generosity, one tap at a time.
Big giving asks for your attention, your card number, and a monthly commitment. We ask for a dollar.
· The idea ·
A Donatyn is a small tag — a sticker, a keychain — that lives on something you carry every day. Its owner picks one charity, once. From then on, anyone who taps or scans it lands on a tiny page with one big button: Give $1. No app, no account, no guilt trip. Ten seconds of generosity, passed between real people in the real world.
· Where the money goes ·
Donations never touch us. Checkout is handled by Every.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that processes the payment, sends your tax receipt, and grants the funds to the chosen charity. Card fees are real — a $1 card donation delivers roughly 70¢ — which is why we also make $3 and $5 easy, and why wallets like Apple Pay make the whole thing painless.
· Why a dollar? ·
Because a dollar is easy to say yes to. The point of a Donatyn isn't the size of any one gift — it's that giving becomes a small, social, everyday habit. Someone asks to bum one, you say “sure, but first…” — and a cause you love gets a little stronger every time.
