Use this out-of-the-box Charity Box to tap into your generosity and sprinkle tiny acts of charity throughout your day, creating positive energy, good deeds, and blessings in all aspects of your life. Carrying loose change has become obsolete, making the traditional charity box inconvenient and difficult. With the Unity Box’s app, you can give a digital coin with a quick tap from just about anywhere. Our digital charity box app connects you with a global community of conscious givers who give spare change digitally with just one tap throughout their day. Watch your tiny bits of generosity add up and send it to the charity of your choice to make an impact. With default amounts as low as five cents, the app encourages you to give tiny amounts of charity, making it accessible for anyone to sprinkle acts of charity throughout their day. Give charity more than one day in a row to start a Giving Streak. You’ll receive a badge for each milestone you reach to celebrate your consistent generosity. Your impact and the global impact of Unity Box’s conscious givers worldwide are always on display to inspire you and remind you that the world is a kind and generous place. Each time you give a virtual coin, it’s added to your virtual box. When you’re ready to empty the box, you can send the total balance to the organization of your choice through Cash App or Venmo straight from the app. If you prefer using a credit card or check outside the app, you can easily input a record of the transaction to keep track of your donation history.
