TheGivingMachine

Finalist category: BT MyDonate Award

#T4GTheGivingMachine

Finalist, 2016

Every year online shops pay hundreds of millions of pounds in sales commissions to other websites for referrals. People search for a product or service on the internet, or maybe visit a comparison website, click on a link and then make a purchase. In many cases, they generate a sales commission for somebody else, but in the case of TheGivingMachine, this commission is converted into free donations for a cause chosen by the shopper.

So far TheGivingMachine has generated £1 million for over 8,000 causes.

With over 8,200 charities registered with the scheme, shoppers can support up to four causes at a time, from local schools and small charities to national charities like Cancer Research, Asthma UK and the Alzheimer’s Society.
