Budge, Inc

Philanthropy is at an inflection point, with Generation Y finding traditional means of giving to be tedious, boring, dated and time consuming. It's time for real change! Budge provides a mobile app that enables people to create challenges with friends and raise money for causes at the same time. We also offer a unique and compelling marketing platform that allows corporations to hold CSR campaigns for and sponsor non-profit organizations. More information on Budge can be found at: Budge is fun. Challenges can be anything from eating as many sushi rolls as possible in a minute, doing a silly dance on the street or participating in a fun run. Budge targets Gen Y. Generation Y is the most educated, tech-profcient, and soon-to-be largest American generation ever. Budge is social. Fully integrated into Facebook, so that challenges can be shared, charities get exposure and the viral nature of social media takes over. Budge is Gamified. For every donation made, users receive points and badges as a reward. Badges can be redeemed for discounts or prizes with participating sponsors. Budge is disruptive. We overcome the traditional roadblocks to philanthropy by inspiring people to use their regular daily activities and interactions as a means to donate to causes they feel passionate about.
