GoodToday is a subscription charity program for companies and individuals alike that makes charitable giving easy and meaningful. Individuals choose a daily donation amount starting at 25¢. Teams choose their monthly donation amount. Every morning, we send you an email or Slack message with an overview of two charities addressing the 'Cause of the Day'. Simply click vote to direct your donation to the charity of your choice.
Every day is something different! Whether it’s medical, social, environmental, local, or international, GoodToday features important causes from around the world and the US. We put each organization through a serious vetting process to make sure that your money is used effectively!
You bet! Good Today is a 501(c)3 organization, as are all the charities we feature. The monthly receipt you receive via email will also serve as your tax-deductible receipt. Our EIN # is 47-1246504.
Individuals - Right when you sign up, you will receive a charge for that month’s subscription (or annual subscription if you select that billing option). Your payment method will then be charged monthly from the day of your registration.
Your daily donation amount (whether you select 25¢, 50¢, $1 a day or more) goes entirely to the charity you choose. The excess on your monthly charge supports our operations so we can continue supporting the charities we work with.
Please do! We love receiving your suggestions on causes, charities, and more! You can request a charity here, or email hey@goodtoday.org. We strongly consider and prefer suggestions, but charities do have to pass our vetting process.
We have a short application you can fill out here.For nonprofits, this is much more effective than sending an email.
DIndividual subscribers - Don’t worry! If you don’t make a selection before the end of the day, your donation will be split between the two charities following the proportions of how the rest of the community gave (i.e. If 60% of the Good Today community gave to Charity A, 60% of all remaining donations will be allocated to Charity A, and 40% to Charity B).
Teams - If you miss a day you will lose your engagement streak and we begin counting again.
All Users - The daily GoodToday email is sent out at 9 am EST (unless changed in the profile), and you have 48 hrs until the campaign closes to make your choice.
Not feeling the cause of the day? You have the option to ‘Skip for today’. When you choose Skip for today, your daily streak will not be affected.
We love hearing new ideas and collaborating with the GoodToday community. Send us an email to hey@goodtoday.org and we’ll make it happen. (If you live really far away, we can drink coffee over Zoom.)
There is an option to deactivate your account in your Profile. And if you really can’t find that send us an email at hey@goodtoday.org and we’ll take care of the rest!
