TheGivingMachine: Shop&Give Reminder Chrome Extension

TheGivingMachine is a Chrome extension designed to enable users to generate free donations for their chosen causes while shopping online. Sitting on your browser, when you search for products or stores, it shows a heart icon next to shops that give free donations. The extension is free, easy to install, and works without disruptive ads. Collaborating with over 2,200 shops, you’ll generate a small sales commission when you purchase via the extension or website, which is then converted into a donation at no extra cost to you. Focused on altruism, not shareholder returns, TheGivingMachine supports over 7,500 registered charities, schools and community groups in the UK.

User reviews

This extension constantly tells me I have 4 unread messages I cannot find any way to get rid of the notification.

As a giver and charity organiser, I find these Shop & Give reminders invaluable: before their arrival, I often only remembered AFTER I'd bought something that this retailer was taking part. Now my Senior Moments don't obstruct easy donations!

In answer to Jane's comment - Amazon asked not to participate in this extension. We published that on our website and in the associated materials. We hope one day that they will change their mind. However, the other 1,500 shops are highlighted.
