How it works

Three steps.
Then it's automatic.

Just generosity happening in the background, every month.

1

Connect your bank

Link your bank through Plaid, the same technology behind Venmo and Coinbase. Takes 30 seconds. We never see your password.

Read-only access. Your information stays secure.
2

Choose your nonprofit

Pick any verified 501(c)(3). Split between multiple charities. Change or cancel anytime.

Tax receipts generated automatically.
3

Watch the pennies add up

Every purchase becomes a MicroGift. On the 1st of each month, your total goes directly to your charity's verified account via Stripe. No middlemen, no float.

Average user gives $50–150/month.
The math

You won't notice it leaving.

The average MicroGive user spends like a normal person and gives like a major donor.

It's like gathering your spare change at the end of the month and putting it toward what matters most to you.

A $6.50 coffee becomes a 50¢ MicroGift. A $43.22 grocery run becomes 78¢. By month's end, it amounts to a real donation you're glad you didn't leave in your pocket.

Donations are tax-deductible. Your receipt is generated automatically every month.

The solution

The funding problem, solved by spare change.

Your favorite charity doesn't need a new gala or grant. It needs hundreds of supporters who already believe in the mission, turning their everyday purchases into MicroGifts.

When MicroGifts add up, charities get what fundraisers spend years chasing: predictable, recurring monthly revenue. That's leverage: budgets, programs, and reserves they can plan on, not just hope for.

Questions

The honest answers.

We know trust is earned. Here are the answers to the questions you may be asking.

How much will I actually give per month?
−
Anywhere between $30–150/month. Most people describe the entire process as seamless. No single MicroGift is more than 99 cents. Set a monthly cap anytime if you want a ceiling.
Is my bank account actually safe?
+
Yes. We use Plaid for read-only access. It is the same bank-linking technology behind Venmo, Coinbase, and 8,000+ other apps. We never see your password and never store your bank credentials.
Are my donations tax-deductible?
+
Yes. Every donation goes to a verified 501(c)(3) organization. MicroGive generates your tax receipt automatically at the end of each month. No paperwork on your end.
How does the money actually get to the charity?
+
Transfers are initiated on the 1st of every month. They go directly to the selected charity's Stripe account. No middleman. They typically arrive in 2–5 business days.
Does MicroGive charge me a fee?
+
No platform fee to you as a donor. Your MicroGifts go to the charity you choose. Processing costs are handled within the monthly batch before the nonprofit receives their net payout. You can optionally cover the 3.5% platform fee in Settings so the org keeps more.
Can I cancel anytime?
+
Instantly. No cancellation fees or penalties. Pause, change charities, or remove your account entirely from your dashboard in seconds.
Why MicroGive is different

You deserve to know exactly what your generosity is funding.

Most round-up programs at the checkout line send your change into a generic bucket. You never know the org, the mission, or where it goes.

We only list nonprofits we can vouch for. Every one is verified, reviewed, and on record. You know exactly who you're giving to.

The difference in practice
You round up at checkout; the retailer picks the recipient, not you
The organization's mission is rarely displayed or explained
No visibility into how the funds are actually used
No receipt, no record, no confirmation it arrived
No ability to choose an organization aligned with your own values
You choose the organization from a pre-vetted list we stand behind
Every listed nonprofit has a clear, public-facing mission you can read before giving
Funds go straight to a verified Stripe account with no intermediary and no ambiguity
Automatic monthly receipt generated for every donation
Giving with intention: you know exactly what your generosity funds
Our Partner Standard

Every nonprofit on MicroGive meets the same bar.

Where your money goes should never be a mystery.

Before an organization goes live, they must meet each of these standards. No exceptions.

1
Active, verified 501(c)(3) status Every partner holds current federal tax-exempt status. We verify this directly, not only by self-attestation.
2
Public-facing mission statement The organization must be able to clearly describe what they do, who they serve, and what a donation funds in plain language a donor can read before giving.
3
Disclosed fund usage Partners must be able to describe how donated funds are used. We don't list organizations that can't answer the question every donor deserves to ask: where does my money actually go?
4
Financial accountability We review publicly available financial disclosures. Organizations must demonstrate responsible stewardship of the donations they receive.
5
Onboarding review Every applicant passes our onboarding review before going live on the platform. We reserve the right to decline partnerships that don't meet our standard, without exception.
A note from the founder

Generosity shouldn't belong only to those who can write big checks. Most people wish they could be more generous. There just hasn't been a tool to help make this a reality. The feeling a large donor gets, of knowing they're funding something extraordinary in the world, should belong to all of us. We're onboarding our first users now. If you're here early, you're shaping what this becomes.

Christian Esqueda
Founder, MicroGive

Generosity shouldn't require willpower.

Two minutes to set up. Then it works on its own, every month, forever.
