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.
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.

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.
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.

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!

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.
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.
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.
