I get the point of this idea but surely there would be no objection to giving to children’s charities. Which are btw more important than animals and plants – REMEMBER.
Save the Children is a leading humanitarian organization for children. We’ve changed the lives of over 1 billion children in the U.S. and around the world.
Among other things, robots can be made into adorable and pathetic little begging machines. The novelty and the sheer cuteness of a begging robot makes them quite effective and so far there are many sucessful examples. Gimme Gimme is a very pitiful and probably creepy looking robot. It simply follo
There’s always a hand out-stretched begging for cash for a cause, it seems. But here’s a robotic one, attached to Little Red (Digital) Riding Hood. Will cuteness deliver more cash?
Would need to be secure as Oxfam get scammed by people pretending to be them, someone could just change the number on a sign and sneak off with their donations.
Oxfam has received several reports of recent scams trying to fraudulently use its name. These fraudulent correspondences often carry Oxfam’s name and logo and appear to be authorized communications from Oxfam. In light of these incidents, Oxfam would like to encourage all concerned to exercise par... Read more
Givetide should do this, though not sure how they would spot which charities you shouldn’t give to if you already give to one regularly. Nice idea but difficult to implement I guess.
GiveTide makes donating to charity as simple, secure, and transparent as it should be. Round up spare change on your everyday purchases, and donate with a tap. Make one-time donations just as easily.
Think of GiveTide as your own personal jar of electronic spare change. Attach your go-to debit/c... Read more
Most charities don’t have “opposing” charities. There is never a reason not to give to those less fortunate than yourself. Christian or not. Give to Oxfam they do great work and can be trusted always.
Make a charity donation to Oxfam. Donate online, by text, phone or PayPal. Make a single donation or set up a monthly donation. Save lives, donate now.
Cancer Fund of America only gives 2.5% of its donations to support the families of cancer victims and fund cancer research. There should also be an app that stops you from donating to “Charities” that are run by crooks.
The 20 Worst Charities You Shouldn't Be Donating To
With millions of good Samaritans regularly donating a portion of their paycheck to good causes, charities are booming… unfortunately, not all of the money
Why do Starbucks give money to trans-rights groups? Children are starving in countries they get their resources. Deforestation, disease, poverty, don’t they matter anymore? Not against anyone’s rights by the way but get a grip on what matters most.

This edition of our regular round up includes Gillette supporting Football Beyond Borders, and Starbucks’s partnership with Mermaids: two small but vital
I like this idea, who knows if I am sending money to 2 different causes that are pulling in different directions. Anyways, I thought this was interesting. Republicans give more, and not because they make more.
Republicans give more to charity – but not because they oppose income redistribution
Who gives more to charity – Republicans or Democrats? Michael Sances (University of Memphis) and Michele Margolis (University of Pennsylvania) found that conservative Americans donate more, even wh…
Prizes totalling £45,000 have just been allocted to innovators from commonwealth member countries who suggest forward-looking solutions, which advance their values. Nobel should follow in these footsteps for sure – sustainable development wasn’t even a thing when the prize was set up.

Prizes totalling £45,000 will be awarded to innovators from member countries who suggest forward-looking solutions, which advance the values of the Commonwealth Cha... Read more
Agreed, would be a good idea to have a specific Nobel Prize category just for sustainable development. As far as I can see on their site one one winner has been “for contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace.”
Top of the global list ..”distributed more than 1.3 billion US dollars for research, innovation, treatment, education and humanitarian and social purposes.” BUT “have a net worth of $59.89 billion”
The Novo Nordisk Foundation is an international foundation focusing on medical treatment and research.

Buy one, give one is a great idea. And there are a few options nowadays according to this web page.
The vain fashion industry has already started to exploit this idea.

Who could say no? Until they start hardwiring their circuits to get a buzz from the charity.
putting the homeless out of business already, it seems.
Wow, I wonder how it got on. Or if it got “moved on”.
Would need to be secure as Oxfam get scammed by people pretending to be them, someone could just change the number on a sign and sneak off with their donations.
They should do this, text giving is a thing lots of people do.
Don’t understand. Nobody would oppose feeding children that need help. Give to feed the children.
