Giving is made easy thanks to intuitive modern day apps for smartphones. Online communities can come together to give together with these basic apps:

Instead

Their slogan is “Micro Donations/Macro Impact” and it jives with the concept of giving any amount, anytime, anywhere. This app goes even further to incorporate a challenge to give something up or do something different that will allow you to save “x” amount of money per day/week/month and use that to donate.

I Can Go Without

The name speaks for itself and uses a concept almost identical to Instead. Their idea is that you can save money on purchasing 1 less coffee per week and donating that money instead.

Charity Miles

The first time I read about this, the concept really intrigued me. You literally help raise money for charities by being active. It apparently tracks miles walked, ran and biked, and allocates a certain amount of cents per mile for each activity. There are no financial commitments on your part and this app offers the best of both worlds — motivation to stay active and free money given for a good cause.
