“Give money to charity – by to check out the cell phone”
“Many people lack the financial means to give money to charity, though they would like to. “
“Jacob Gelberg and three of his friends have developed an app where you can donate the money to charities – without it costing you a single penny.”
“– Man uses his mobile phone as usual, and each time you see an ad, put a total check on the person’s user account, ” said Jacob Gelberg, co-founder of the app Bigheart.”
“According to the World Happiness Report from the UN is generosity and charity are important factors to achieve happiness. But people do not always have the financial ability to give to charity. “
“We have created this app as a way to donate money to charities without having to give a penny,” said Jacob Gelberg, who is one of four co-founders to Bigheart.”
“the App, which was launched in August last year, has already 4 000 users, who together have donated 173 000 sek to charity – just by the seen advertising in their mobile.”
“– Instead of always having the same lock screen on your phone to get a new ad every time you open the phone. Then use his phone as usual. And for every time you see the ads, collected the money on the account, which the user then may donate to any charity. “
“A hundred a month.”
“In normal use of the cell phone, you can donate around 100 dollars a month. Charities that users can choose among the is the largest with 90-accounts which are audited by the Svensk insamlingskontroll as well as some of the smaller organisations.”
“– as we use the cell phone more and more in society, this is an easy way to raise money for charities. We have received very positive feedback, ” said Jacob Gelberg.nnIdén to the app has evolved over many years. They are today eight people work at the company in different ways. “
“– so long as we do not charge any salary or profit but everything goes directly to the charities and to promote and develop the app. But in the future, we plan to be able to take a salary, ” says Jacob Gelberg. “
