Turn everyday moments into meaningful change: Every time Trump tweets, give $0.10 to the ACLU. Grab a coffee, and round up for clean water. Or donate when @rrhoover upvotes a product. Get guidance, give anywhere, track your impact, all in one place.

Please do include social impact companies as well. Our goals are impact then profit so sometimes we need a little help too. Thanks for listening.

Hi Product Hunt! We’re excited to launch here on Giving Tuesday. We started Momentum because we’d discovered that most people want to give 2x more than they already do, but life often gets in the way. There are a bunch of barriers like figuring out where to donate, how much or how often to do it, and what it's helping do in the world. We built Momentum to make this whole process easier. Momentum is an automatic donation app that helps you give based on your lifestyle, interests, and values. For example, every time Trump tweets, give 10 cents to the ACLU (you can set a limit). When you get a coffee, round it up for people who need clean water. Or support children's health with every mile your friend runs. You can give to any nonprofit in the country, and we’ve also built collections of trustworthy charities from independent evaluators. Momentum tracks your impact (like pounds of carbon offsets or lives saved) so you understand how you’re making a difference. So far, our community of early users have donated $35K and we’d love for you to join the movement. Some of our favorite features: - Pick from collections of high-impact charities vetted by independent evaluators - Give to any one of the 1.8 million IRS-registered nonprofits in the country - Donate when it makes sense to like when you feel frustrated, buy a luxury item, or just want to help. - Track your impact (like pounds of carbon offsets and lives saved) - Coming down the line: social giving features, a personalized portfolio, campaigns, a webapp, and an Android app. We’d love your feedback to help us improve the app and make it easier to make a difference.

I love this so much. Game changer for donating. It makes giving much more meaningful, creative, and brag-worthy.

Incredible how simple things make great changes. This is definitely the most fun and easy way to donate and feel good about your everyday activities. Been using the app for a while and it just keeps getting better! Kudos for the team and thanks for this really world- improving product!
Fred Stutzman
Incredible idea and execution - and kudos to the team for getting this into the App Store. There is a large unmet need in creating a platform that makes giving simple and repeatable, and Momentum is doing great work in that area.
Nick Fitz
@fstutzman thanks Fred! We love what you're doing with Freedom.
Joel Aguero
Love this! Always exciting to see new ways to encourage generosity, and this keeps it timely and relevant. Props to y'all and congrats on the milestone!

Momentum makes giving easy, fun, and even kind of cool. I love that I can give based on things happening out in the world (like Steph Curry hitting an amazing 3 pointer, or the president tweeting... again) or something I'm doing, like getting coffee or traveling. While the app now enables you to give to any charity (great new feature!), it's pretty rad that Momentum also curates charities and tells you the super specific impacts of what you and the whole community have given.

@angelplasma Thanks Ryan - appreciate the support! We're excited to get it out there on Product Hunt so more folks can try it out.

This is a total game-changer for doing good through effective giving. If you've been wanting a more streamlined and direct-impact way to do your charitable giving, this app is basically designed specifically for you.
Nick Fitz
@peterbrietbart thanks Peter!

I used the app and felt great knowing I was giving on a regular basis without having to remember to go to a donation page and enter my card information. The link to my expenses is also fantastic. 10/10 design!
Nick Fitz
thanks a lot @d_dangaran!

Refreshing idea: founders that actually are trying to make positive change in our society. Everyone wants to give, but just like investing, most of us don't get around to doing it. Breaking down hurdles towards giving by gamifying it is a fantastic concept. The startup world needs more of this.
Ari Kagan
@liamrosen Thanks Liam! We'd love to see more startups working on social impact challenges too - plus it makes your day to day work a lot more engaging.
Mike McCormick
Really cool product. Excited to see how much the founders care about effective giving and making sure every dollar given goes to organizations that will put it to use in super-efficient ways!
Gina Novick
Momentum allows me to customize my giving in several ways: I can select the specific rules that trigger my donations, I can select the charities I donate to, and I can adjust the donation $ amounts to my own budget. It's visually engaging and fun to use, while making a real difference in the world.
Trey Gordon
This is great! Have you shown this to anyone at effective altruism?
Ari Kagan
@treyg Thanks Trey! Glad you like it - we've shown it to some folks in effective altruism and a lot of them have liked it. But we're also excited about the possibility to make high-impact giving accessible to anyone and everyone.
David Rein
Love momentum, some of the rules are really funny
Ari Kagan
@idavidrein Thanks David! Looking forward to coming up with new rules to keep things interesting. Recommendations are always welcome!
Garrett Smiley
Super cool!

Great way to effortlessly give back.

Well they ripped this old woman off for over $500.00 so I am not a fan at all.
