What is this project all about?

The world's last undisturbed natural habitats are being destroyed faster than ever before and we lose species to exctinction every day. This loss is threatening the world's biodiversity and ecosytems. Fast and direct action is necessary to save the most threatened regions and endagered wildlife like tigers, rhinos or orang utans, to name a few.

With GIVEGREENLY you can support the most urgent conservation projects directly with a fixed micro payment donation (3 €), in return you are rewarded with a sponsored voucher.

GIVEGREENLY is the first initiative to support environmental protection actvities directly and straightforward through spontaneous mobile donations and is the world's first platform specifically built for that purpose.

With your donation there are no further commitments. No need to deal with complicated donation forms, long term subscriptions or street hawkers.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

We aim to reach everyone who is concerned about nature and wildlife and wants to give support in an uncomplicated ad easy way, with no strings attached.

Our goal is to create a platform where urgent conservation projects can be presented and supported efficiently. We will help projects that deal with issues like:

  • efforts to combat poaching and wildlife smuggling
  • landpurchases to save habitats from destruction
  • equipping wildlife rangers
  • supporting rewildering programs
  • protection of oceans and its inhabitants
  • etc.

Why would you support this project?

Your support ensures that we can develop our tool from the technical side and promote it, so the result can serve as a simple and efficient way to help urgent conservation projects.

GIVEGREENLY commits to full transparency and ensure you are informed about how we did help. And last but not least: we want everyone to be involved because of the fantastic rewards we can offer!

Our achievements so far include our Android prototype and the manyfold commitments we have secured upfront from potential partners (voucher sponsors, media)

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

At this stage we have developed an Android prototype of the app. By reaching our funding threshold of 6,000 € we are able to support the launch of the app with promotional measures and marketing. Additional funding witll be spent on the development of our iOS version of the app. The higher the raised amount, the more features can be implemented into the GIVEGREENLY app.

Furthermore we have to cover hosting costs in this start up stage want to invest in editorial support.
