DonorSee changed the way I give to people in need. Rather than sending a check to a giant faceless nonprofit and having a percentage of my funds go to salaries, admin, overhead and not knowing how it's actually helping the person in need -- with DonorSee, I now see photos and videos of my dollars in ACTION. Wheelchairs, surgeries, prosthetics, shelter -- I love seeing the difference it makes. This is what tech + giving is supposed to look like.
Gret Glyer
@daveschools_ EXACTLY. Thank you Dave!!
Davis Baer
@daveschools_ Well said :)

After doing poverty alleviation work in Africa for 3 years, I came back to the States to start DonorSee. When you download our app, you'll be able to help the worlds poorest people within seconds. Sometimes this means contributing towards a homeless person's new house for $700 or providing a deaf person with hearing aids for $180. Whatever you give, I think you'll be SHOCKED at how much of an impact a few bucks can make in a persons life. And after you give, you'll receive raw video updates showing exactly how your money was spent. It's a rewarding and addicting experience that makes DonorSee unlike any other app on your phone. Our dream is to make DonorSee a household name so that everyone can have the experience of what it feels like to truly make a difference in someone's life. Thanks and I hope you'll upvote! :-)

This is great! The act of giving is so powerful and many have stopped doing so simply because they have no clue where their money is actually going. I LOVE THIS --> "DonorSee allows you to give directly to specific needs all over the world, and receive raw videos - just days later - showing exactly how your generosity changed someone's life." Awesome stuff!
Davis Baer
@chaimdog Thanks Adam! We 100% agree that people are more inclined to be generous when they can actually see who they're helping, and how they're helping :)
Gret Glyer
@chaimdog great comment - shared it on my twitter!!

It's awesome to see charity products being introduced in Product Hunt. Always great to know and hear people using technology to make a positive, lasting impact in the world. Hope DonorSee gets a lot of momentum and attention at Product Hunt.

If anyone wants to hear the story of DonorSee, @gretglyer was recently on EOFire with @johnleedumas: https://www.eofire.com/podcast/g...
Davis Baer
Most of the time when you give to charity, all you receive back is a thank you email. You never know where your dollars actually ended up. DonorSee is changing that. DonorSee allows you to give directly to specific needs all over the world, and receive raw videos - just days later - showing exactly how your generosity changed someone's life. Here is a great example: https://donorsee.com/project/389 A few people came together to provide $300 for a wheelchair that changed this mother and daughter's lives forever. Help us make giving transparent, direct, and fun!
Victor Semeniaka
Awesome app, I love the idea of actually seeing where my money is going.
Davis Baer
@victor_semeniaka Thanks Victor, we do too!
Gret Glyer
@victor_semeniaka thank you Victor :)
Sara Brown
DonorSee is a fantastic app focused entirely on helping others. It's incredibly easy to use and welldesigned. Your grandma couldprobably use this app. Being able to see what my contributions are doing to help others motivates me to give more. The diverse set of countries already using the app shows that this program is universal. DonorSee has already begun changing the world for good 👍🏼.
Davis Baer
@sara_brown Thanks Sara!
Gret Glyer
