Description: Keep the Change is a membership-based app that enables users to donate to multiple registered 501 C3 charities simultaneously, using their spare change from everyday purchases with any credit/debit card connected to their account. Users can choose from over 700 categorized charities, making it easy to find the causes that matter most to them. Each charity has a profile page showing their mission, annual revenue, and an breakdown of how donations are spent, adding a whole new level of transparency to making a difference. When a user makes a purchase with a connected account, the total is rounded up to the nearest dollar. The resulting change is spread evenly across all selected charities.
