4 Ways Givelify Is the Uber of Charity

Those who live in or travel to major cities are probably already familiar with Uber, the smartphone app that allows people who need a ride to connect with a driver with the tap of a button.

For the uninitiated, the concept is simple: download the Uber app and set up an account with your credit card and contact information. When you need a ride, tap the “Request” button and a car will show up within the estimated time shown on the screen.

There’s no need to pre-schedule, no need to call or try to hail a cab. Uber operates in 45 cities all across the U.S. and in 34 other countries. Riders can choose between regular passenger cars, luxury black car service, SUV, and in some cities vans and even helicopters. Uber is also expanding into bicycle messenger service.

So how is donating to the charity, church or cause of your choice with Givelify like getting a ride from Uber?

Even better, you can donate no matter where you are, or get a ride in 35 countries around the world.

They are both platforms to move things, whether it’s people or money, from where they are to where they want to be with the tap of a button.
