Many people have a desire to help others but do not have the money to support many charitable organizations, and many feel they do not have enough to make much of an impact at all. Instead is an app that its developers built upon the premise that you do not need a lot of money to make a difference, allowing people to make a large impact with a little. Its creators claim that you can use the app to give even more to the causes that you already support, and what it essentially does is two things: firstly, it helps you to understand things you can do instead of another thing you commonly do in order to save money that you can then donate. Secondly, it incentivizes and gamifies “micro-philanthropy,” or charitable giving by an individual on a small scale.

Instead is an app with mobile tech support features specifically designed for iOS-enabled devices the main function of which is to alert users of opportunities to do social good in their daily routine. For instance, instead can give you examples of what to replace in your daily routine just for one day, such as brewing your own coffee rather than buying it on the way to work. This will typically save someone between three and five dollars, and that money can go to a non-profit that provides drinking water in Africa. This is just a starting point, however, and the app’s function makes donating a much simpler process than it has been in the past.

One upside of the instead app is that it is much easier simply to open it and tap your screen a few times than it is to surf the web looking for philanthropic opportunities. It is strictly for iOS mobile devices, however, so the need for computer support on your phone or tablet is one you should address quickly. When you have set up an account with the app, it is incredibly quick and simple to use with a user-friendly interface.

Upon opening the instead app, the first screen you see lets you choose a dollar amount to give, and it can be as low as one dollar. From there, it takes just a tap to choose a non-profit to give to, and the list of charities available is a very long one. This allows you to support the causes you want to, and the app arranges these charities alphabetically. It also lets you toggle between a list of every available charity and those to which you have donated in the past. From there, you simply tap “give” and enter your banking information. If you want, you can keep a log on the app of every time you donated rather than doing something for yourself. For the philanthropist on a budget, the instead app is certainly one to give top consideration.
