We work closely with foundations, philanthropists, influencers and other professionals to suggest nonprofits. We also have our own Impact team of experts who meticulously hand-picked the nonprofits, organizations, and ad-hoc initiatives that are shown to make the most significant impact.
With hundreds of worthy initiatives out there, our dedicated team continually updates our list to ensure a diverse range of organizations benefit from Bono. Our goal is to strike a balance between supporting established, well-known nonprofits and championing smaller entities that, despite their impactful work, might not have the resources or marketing budget to gain widespread attention.
Your privacy is essential to us. We maintain donor anonymity for all our donations. Your details are not shared directly with the nonprofits.
if you’re confused about who to give to, how much to give, how you can see and follow your impact and about getting a single deductible invoice - we’re perfect for each other. If you don’t care about any of these benefits - other solutions might be better for you. We are not competing with any other nonprofit or platforms, on the contrary - we’re here to help. If you feel like you want to give to a specific nonprofit directly, go for it! We’re all here to do some good.
Every contribution counts! We accept donations of any size, even starting with just $5 a month. Every cent makes a difference!
Currently, the maximum amount is $1000 a month; however, for even more substantial amounts, we recommend reaching out to our support for a guided donation process.
$5 can be worth a lot, when grouped together with others! When your $5 joins the giving pool of thousands and thousands of other Bono members, it allows even a small donation to create a large change. We are stronger when we team up, you know.
For every $10 in donations, Bono keeps $1 as a service fee. This fee ensures transparency and allows us to cover all tech development and maintenance of the platform, vetting of the nonprofits, reporting of the impact and providing you with a single tax-deductible receipt. We do not charge anything from the nonprofits themselves.
It is important to mention that 100% of your donations are tax deductible and and are processed by the Bono Way Charitable Foundation which has received a 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the IRS.
This structure allows us to keep Bono donor-focused and effective.
As much as we love Bono, he’s not part of this initiative. Our name is inspired by “Pro-Bono” - Latin for “doing good for everyone”.
