Beam Overview
With that, most of us (91%!) would prefer to spend our money and use our consumer power with brands that are actually mission-driven (directly supporting nonprofits, consistent business practices with the values they show on social media, etc.) but it’s tough when you’re not really sure which brands are walking-the-walk, rather than talking-the-social-impact-talk.
Beam works by linking your card, so our system knows when you’ve made a purchase with a partner brand to send you a notification.

Product Details and Description of
An app that makes part of your spending go to nonprofits you choose... at zero cost to you? That’s us. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Just buy things using your card with brands on this app (aka brands *actually* investing in their communities). 2. You’ll get a notification to choose a nonprofit from a few options reflecting the causes the brand believes in. 3. The brand you bought from will donate part of your purchase to the nonprofit you chose. That’s it. 4. Then, grow your impact towards tangible goals — like funding a sustainable urban farm in Brooklyn for a week. this app works by linking your card, so our system knows when you’ve made a purchase with a partner brand to send you a notification. this app uses bank-level encryption, you’ll never be charged, and no — we do not share or sell personal data. HOW IS IT FREE: Our founders made this app because they realized a lot of us want to make a difference every day, and we have to buy things all the time. With that, most of us (91%!) would prefer to spend our money and use our consumer power with brands that are actually mission-driven (directly supporting nonprofits, consistent business practices with the values they show on social media, etc.) but it’s tough when you’re not really sure which brands are walking-the-walk, rather than talking-the-social-impact-talk. And for brands that are actually investing in giving back, it’s hard to cut through the noise to reach people who care about those same causes. That’s where this app comes in. this app gets paid by the purpose-driven brands in our network, who love that our community helps them reach customers who care about the same social issues, and our tech allows people (like you!) to directly participate in their mission. this app never takes a cut of the donation and is committed to our mission of driving $10B to high-impact nonprofits.

This is so cool
I heard about this app through a friend and I was skeptical at first because I guess I didnt really understand how it worked and assumed I would need to use the app anytime I paid but I was wrong! I just signed up and linked my card then anytime I normally made a purchase for lunch at dig inn or Inday they sent me a push notification to allow me to pick which non profit I could support. I can’t believe it’s free and these awesome businesses are supporting these causes. I really hope to see even more places I could shop on there!

Amazing app!
I love being able to support causes that are important to me (such as women’s empowerment) through my everyday purchases at places like Dig Inn. this app makes it super easy. It’s also a great way for me to find out which businesses are re-investing their profits toward improving our world, and makes me more likely to buy from there (that’s how I tried Think coffee and Dos Toros for the first time). Everyone should download this app to help support their favorite causes (with minimal effort and investment)

Makes my day :)
I love being able to use this app to make a difference as part of my daily routine. It always makes me smile when I get the push and get to support causes I care about just because I bought lunch at Dig Inn or a coffee at Think! I’m always on the lookout for ways to contribute to girls’ education and women empowerment and I love that the app lets you filter by cause so I know how to support those. Highly recommend :)
