15 Lessons Learned From Donating Online to 32 Nonprofits

To celebrate @NonprofitOrgs reaching 800,000 followers on Twitter, Nonprofit Tech for Good donated $800 to 32 nonprofits, specifically $25 to each. The 32 nonprofits were bookmarked for a donation and selected because they were effective at grabbing my attention and sparking inspiration to give through their tweets.

The last time Nonprofit Tech for Good donated to a large volume of nonprofits ($25 to 28 nonprofits), 27 percent of the donations failed due to bugs. The good news is that there were only three nonprofits that I was unable to donate to in this round of donations (9 percent), but it was frustrating to see how many “Thank You” landing pages and “Thank You” emails are still underutilized and poorly designed (heavy on text, void of visuals, lacking in creativity).
