FAQ
Questions you're probably asking yourself
Does my full donation amount reach the charities?

Your entire donation goes to charity, less any payment processing fees which The Bono Way Charitable Foundation pays to our payment processor, Stripe. In the future, we plan to offer donors the option to add additional amounts in order to cover these fees.

Are donations tax deductible?

The full 100% of user donations are included in a single yearly tax-deductible donation receipt provided by Bono. Donations are processed by the Bono Way Charitable Foundation which has received a 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the IRS.

Why should I trust you?

Bono works with the most trusted legal and financial firms in the U.S. so that you can rest assured that you feel comfortable giving through us.

On the financial side, we work with JPMorgan Chase as our bank, Moss Adams for tax advisory and Ernst & Young as our controller.

On the legal side, we’re represented by Sidley (Sidley Austin LLP) and Adler & Colvin for the Bono Foundation.

On the technical and processing side, we secure and process our transactions and funds through Stripe.

All your funds are transferred directly through the Bono Way Charitable Foundation, which is  tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. If you are a U.S. taxpayer, Bono will issue you a receipt indicating that your contribution is fully tax deductible.

Who picks the charities?

Bono works closely with foundations, philanthropists, creators and other professionals to suggest charities. We also have our own Impact team of experts who meticulously hand-picked the charities that are shown to make the most significant impact. With hundreds of worthy initiatives out there, our dedicated team continually updates our charity list to ensure a diverse range of organizations benefit from Bono. Our goal is to strike a balance between supporting established, well-known charities and championing smaller ones that, despite their impactful work, might not have the resources or marketing budget to gain widespread attention.

Is Bono a charitable organization?

The Bono Way Charitable Foundation is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. If you are a U.S. taxpayer, the Bono Way Charitable Foundation will issue you a receipt at the end of the tax year indicating that your contribution is fully tax deductible.
The Bono Way Inc is a for-profit company, that provides the tech platform for the Bono Foundation, through a licensing agreement.

Can creating social content really increase my engagement?

Yes! Bono research shows that creators can see a 20%-100% increase in engagement when sharing social issues causes, especially when these posts become a regular part of your content calendar.

Does showing I care really pay off?

Bono is the easiest way to make a real difference, together with your community of followers. That’s already a huge pay off!  

In addition to doing good, showing you care gives you the opportunity to:
- Boost your brand: you’re more than just likes and shares, you actually want to make a difference.
- Increase engagement: people connect with passion, and they’ll show it.
- Broaden your audience: attract a new  audience who cares about these causes as much as you do.
- Increase earnings: Bono splits our earnings with creators, while still being the cheapest way for charities to raise money. It’s that simple!

How do you determine and quantify the impact I’m making?

The impact quantification indicators we use take into account industry benchmarks, information gathered from top charities and market cost. Please note that these indicators are for illustration purposes only. For specific details about the impact of your donation, please visit the charity’s annual report.

Why should I use Bono to engage with my community and not other fundraising tools?

Bono is a way to create long lasting impact and allows you to make “making a difference” be a regular part of your content calendar in the easiest way possible. We let you, the creator, engage with your community on a long term basis and not just part of a one-off fundraising campaign. With Bono, the donations your followers make to the causes that matter to you the most are not just $ signs but are translated directly and on a regular basis to actual impact. Both you, the creator, and your followers, the donors, receive regular updates on the immense change you’re making for the causes that matter to you the most. Bono also helps you create engaging content for your causes which you can share with your followers.

I am interested in working with Bono as a creator. How do I get started?

That's great that you are ready to get the ball rolling, and we are too!  You can schedule a meeting directly through our Calendly link or email stav@bono.so.

Is the singer Bono in on this?

As much as we love Bono, he’s not part of this initiative. Our name is inspired by “Pro-Bono” which means “doing good for everyone” in Latin.
