Proud to be part of this nonprofit project / social experiment. We helped facilitate more than $15k in frictionless donations to Albuquerque nonprofits in 2020 through our Venmo-like donation app & we're 100% volunteer run - we don't take a cut on any transactions.
@TokenIbis, NM's first non-profit that GIVES YOU money to donate.

What if there was a way to turn pandemics and natural disasters into stimulus packages for non-profits? A way to bring Economics 101 back to grocery store prices, keeping toilet paper and hand sanitizer stocked for everybody, without exploiting anybody.

To the philanthropically-inclined whose giving hasn't matched your intent, now is the time. Almost every nonprofit is being asked to do more with less. That money sitting in your donor advised fund doesn't help people; the nonprofits doing the work help people.

Thread (1/16). How is that our economic statistics suggest workers have been making slow but steady progress in recent decades, while popular perception is that their family finances are coming under increasingly untenable pressure? I've been working on this, here's my answer:
We don't ask for any financial information and we don't charge a fee on transactions or donations. All the money goes to charity, as it should. Let's make a difference for these New Mexico non-profits!

People with developmental disabilities are capable of living fulfilling lives & providing tremendous value to society. They just need some specialized assistance to get there. Mandy’s Farm has been providing that service in ABQ for 20 years & and we're proud to partner with them.
New Mexico’s unique climate, nature, and wildlife make it a truly special place to live. It’s important that we appreciate & maintain these ecosystems for the next generation, which is why we are happy to be partnering with an organization that helps do just that, @friendsofvdo.
Homelessness in Albuquerque is an issue that’s impossible to ignore. That’s why we’re happy to be partnering with & supporting @cabq’s #OneAlbuquerque Housing Fund, a program that helps ABQ citizens who have fallen on hard times to get off the streets and get back on their feet.
Education & economic opportunity often go hand in hand. For marginalized adults who lack basic literacy, joining the workforce is incredibly difficult. We’re proud to partner with @ReadWestInc, a non-profit that educates New Mexicans so that they can pursue new opportunities.
It’s estimated that Albuquerque has over 5,000 homeless youth on any given night. What’s worse, homelessness often leads to sex trafficking and other forms of exploitation. We’re partnering with @NMDreamCenter, a non-profit that serves these vulnerable young people of New Mexico.
We’re fortunate to live in a time & place where it's not controversial to say that all human beings should be treated equally. But this idea is relatively new & there are still many hearts and minds to win over. We’re happy to partner with @HolocaustNM and share in their mission.
Sexual assault, rape, and sex trafficking are important issues in Albuquerque & they can cause life-long emotional trauma to victims. We’re partnering with the @rapecrisis to support them in the work that they do to prevent these crimes & help victims heal.
In an age when philanthropic intent is often much greater than actual giving, Chuck Feeney created the model for giving while living. He gave virtually his whole fortune while living, ramping down his foundation over time rather than creating a legacy org.
