The Karma Refill mobile app allows users to easily donate to their favorite charities. With a single log-in, users can donate to as many charities as they choose with the touch of a button and without having to access the charities individually. Additionally, each donation earns users Karma Points, which would be redeemable at stores/websites through participating companies.
Once the user is logged in, they can browse their favorite charities and donate to them by simply pressing on that charity's button. Pressing once will donate $1, twice will donate $5, three times will donate $10 and so on.
This interface can also be used to refill gift-card and loyalty cards all in one place, or for peer-to-peer money transfers.
