We all like donating money. If you’ve never done it before, you should really try it sometime — even just a few dollars. There’s something special about the feeling of contributing, of being connected to what’s happening around us. After all, no man is an island. We are all part of a global community and it’s just great to know that you’re doing your part to maintain it.

But what if you’re struggling yourself? You’ve got debts to pay, mouths to feed and a little leisure time to enjoy modestly. Ok, maybe you’re a bit above the poverty line. You don’t exactly need aid from a charity organization, but you nevertheless need to be penny wise. That makes sense. As part of the global community, your first responsibility is to do your best to see that your own needs are fulfilled. Like the gas masks on an airplane, you need to help yourself before you can effectively help others.

But what if there was a way to give something back without putting a whole in your pocket or monopolizing your time and energy? There is and it’s called Givv. Becoming a Givver is the perfect way to donate to the causes you support without losing a penny. What’s more, it’s completely passive. This isn’t a volunteering gig and it doesn’t require hours of research or conversation. Just download the Givv client and go about your life as usual.

By choosing to become a Givver, you’re essentially donating computing resources rather than cash out of your bank account. Without getting into the technical details of the blockchain technology behind Givv, the company essentially monetizes the resources you donate and pays the causes you’ve chosen to support.

There are lots of other cryptocurrency companies that work on the same basic principle of converting computing resources into financial resources, but on every other platform, users try to collect the cash themselves. Certainly no one would think any less of them for doing so. The problem is that without a particularly powerful computer it’s immensely difficult to earn more than the equivalent of a few dollars a month this way. Average PC users lose out to professional cryptocurrency “miners” with high-powered computers and application specific integrated circuits (ASICSs) built specifically for the task.

But with a completely run-of-the mill computer, you can become a Givver and choose to donate those micro earnings to whatever causes you choose. In fact, they don’t even have to be charities or NGOs. Any content creator can ask followers to become Givvers and support their work. Musicians, YouTubers and others can be supported by Givvers who choose to give their micro earnings to influencers who make the world a more beautiful place with their art, educate others with smart videos or just post funny articles that put a smile on someone’s face.

It’s completely safe and doesn’t require anything of you. The Givv client doesn’t have access to anything on your computer outside of its own files. It runs smoothly in the background so you can passively generate money for the causes you support without even being in front of the computer.

And where do your donated computing resources go? Givv makes them part of its global computing infrastructure. Companies trying to run resource-heavy technologies can purchase the power they need through Givv rather than going out to invest in their own big computers.

Think of it this way: Givv is itself a good cause worth supporting. When your computer sits idle eating up electricity, it is generating computing power that isn’t being put to use. By becoming a Givver, you are contributing to a system that makes efficient use of computing resources around the world. The result is fewer devices getting a lot more work done. That means less electricity consumption overall, which has a positive environmental impact. Givving has never felt quite this good.
