As you know, with Tinypay.me, it’s easy to share a percentage of your sales to charity. We wish to support as many interesting charities as possible. In order to do this we need your help!
If you’re familiar with a charity that deserves support please send us the following information by e-mail ( charity @ tinypay.me ).
1. The title of the charity
2. A short description of the charity (max 150 characters)
3. A link to the website for more information
4. The Twitter username of the charity
5. The PayPal address of the charity in order to transfer funds
Once we receive this information we’ll have someone look at the charity and make sure everything is okay. If that is the case the charity will be put in our database and will end up on the website once there is an available space.
We’re looking forward to your e-mail. Thank you very much!

Children are the miracles (‘Milagros’) of the world and they are our future. A child deserves to be a child. However, sometimes the circumstances do not permit this. The child is no longer a child, bearing all the consequences.

We’re excited to tell you that TinyPay.me, has launched on the 14th of February 2010.
Sellers are now able to put both physical and digital items for sale within 60 seconds. They can choose to donate a share of their sale (ranging from 1 % to 100 %) to one of the charities we support.
At this moment we are contacting various charities; if they wish we will support them. Our aim is to support a maximum of 5 charities at a given time; consisting of 2 ‘large’ and 3 ’small’ charities. Limiting the amount of charities will both ensure our users aren’t overwhelmed by choice and focusing the donations on a few charities thus making more impact.
The topics we support are:
- animals
- arts
- culture
- education
- environment
- health
- human rights
- public benefits
We will dedicate blog articles about every charity on tinypay.me in order to inform our users about the organizations they can support.
We’re certainly excited to dedicate some of our time, efforts and money to the good cause – we hope you are too!
How do payments work?
Thanks to PayPal’s new Adaptive API, we can directly transfer donations to the PayPal accounts of these charities when buyers buy something!
