Change for charity: somebody did it
A couple years ago (in my very first blog post!) I had an idea to give retail consumers the chance to round up their total and donate the difference to charity. Cash payers would not have to deal with lame coins, and plastic payers would see a nice flat charge on their bill.
Now it looks like somebody has implemented this idea online. Change Round-Up rounds online purchases to the nearest dollar and donates the rounded amount to charity. I'm glad that somebody else has had the idea, and I'm not surprised that the first implementation is online given the relative ease of augmenting online retail infrastructure. I hope to see Change Round-Up at more online retailers soon.
I am still interested in making this happen for brick and mortar stores. If you want to help, let me know and maybe we can get something going!
