With hundreds of worthy initiatives out there, our dedicated team continually updates our charity list to ensure a diverse range of organizations benefit from Bono.

Let’s start with the important stuff. We are here for one reason: to make giving easier. Bono is the simplest, most trusted and smartest way to donate to multiple charities all at once. You tell us what you care about and decide on a monthly budget, and leave the hard work to us. We will manage all your donations in one place, take away the hassle of selecting which charity to donate to, provide transparency with weekly impact reports, and so much more.
Your privacy is important to us, and we will never share your personal information. Each donation is sent to the respective charity through the Bono Way Charitable Foundation, which processes your donation and provides you with a receipt.
Your donations are split equally between the charities in your Giving Profile. Bono transfers the funds to the charities once a month, to save them the time and the efforts of dealing with small donations.
The Bono Foundation accounting team, overseen by top accounting firms Moss Adams and Ernst & Young, distributes the funds once a month so that the charities we work with do not have to deal with micro transactions on a daily basis.
The impact quantification indicators we use take into account industry benchmarks, information gathered from top charities and market cost. Please note that these indicators are for illustration purposes only. For specific details about the impact of your donation, please visit the charity’s annual report.
Bono will email you a weekly personalized impact report that will showcase impactful actions the nonprofits in your portfolio did over the past week and the accumulated impact of your donations over time. In addition, you can always track your impact at any time through your giving profile, accessible through app.bono.so.

The maximum donation limit is currently $1,000 per month. If you are interested in a giving plan that exceeds this limit, reach out to support@bono.so for additional information.
Yes, even $5 can make an impact. Each donation is pooled with thousands of other donors in the Bono community so even a small gift can create lasting change.
