AidMaker is a small and free application that gets inserted into the user Internet Browser, to make charity donations while shopping on the web.
This small program inserts itself into the web browser, and shows an initial window for the user to select the country of origin. Once the country is chosen, it shows all the shopping web sites that collaborate with the "good cause" project, displaying their percentage or donation rates for every shopping operation. The shopping sites can be sorted by cathegories, by chosing on the drop down menu on the AidMaker page.
User can personalize her (his) settings, choosing the organization (s)he wants to help, within the selected country, or selecting "all of them". Target organizations can also be sorted by cathegories, selecting the apropriate theme on the drop down list.
User can also add a toolbar to the browser, to ease the operations. In addition, the user can get a personal badge to show on the system desktop to track all the related movements as an AidMaker, add the selected shops to the Favourites list of the browser, as well as register her (his) email address to obtain all the AidMaker news.
Once all the settings are made, all the online shoppings that user performs on selected shops generate donations to the chosen organizations.
When the user enters a different shop, AidMaker tells if the shop supports the good cause or not, before you set a shopping order. Publishers say that the application is supported by over 5,000 online shops, and more than 300 organizations all over the world.
This small and non profit application allows user to collaborate whilst shopping, without any price increment. Shops do send the corresponding percentage or amount to the selected organization(s).
