Pennies is an award-winning fintech charity with an important mission: to protect and grow micro-donations – ensuring the public has digital ways to keep donating the small amounts of money that are so vital for charitable causes.
As well as promoting the charity sector and encouraging charitable giving, Pennies has created and runs ‘the digital charity box’ – the digital upgrade of the traditional charity tin, designed to fit with our increasingly cashless lifestyles. Donating a few pence to charity when paying by card or mobile wallet is as simple as a single press of a button. The option to give appears automatically in the payment process: on the card terminal in-store or at the checkout online / in-app.
Millions of people are now using the digital charity box, raising millions of pounds in additional income for charities in the UK, Ireland and beyond. If every adult in the UK gave just 35p a week, we would raise £1billion a year for charity. Because micro-donations matter.
