Altruisto: help people while shopping

 

What is better than being able to help others while shopping. Thanks to Altruisto, this is possible. This tool allows you to kill two birds with one stone!

Available for Chrome and Firefox, it is an invisible app that works quietly in the background. You just have to keep shopping as you usually do and when you visit one of its partner stores, you will be automatically prompted to activate a donation. When you buy something from the site, the shop will give Altruisto a portion of the sale. This is usually about 2 to 6% of the price of the product. However, you will be pleased to know your price is not affected at all. The money is then forwarded to a charitable cause of your choosing. For instance, you can help in the fight against animal cruelty, animal suffering, global water crisis, malaria, or even COVID-19. All of the charities that you can donate to are vetted by GiveWell or Animal Charity Evaluators.

While Altruisto does not work with Amazon at the moment, it has several other partner stores such as travel and hotel booking sites, financial products, and official sports apparel. Download the extension for free and keep helping others at no cost at all.
