Contact Milkywire Support

This app does not help you find local charities, it just lists some random people and asks you to pay them money. I was expecting that the app would be about finding volunteer opportunities, but it just asks for money. The design of the app is not very professional, and I think it’s all a scam. Also, it seems even more unreliable because you are donating to people and not organizations. It could be a great way to support charities, but most likely, it’s all fake.

Never used an app quite like Milkywire. It’s kind of Instagram mixed with Kickstarter - a super easy way to find and donate directly to people who are literally saving the world. Those people you normally would hear or read about and think - “That’s awesome. Their work seems really important. Good for them.” - before dropping off into another click-hole about the lifestyle-blogging pets of celebrities. With Milkywire, you can get closer to these impacters and follow their efforts through regular updates straight from the field. Milkywire is new, but you can clearly see the potential. Most big charity is so old-fashioned and inefficient. As Milkywire grows, you can imagine it changing how people “do charity” and how we give back to the causes that are important to us. Excited. Nice use of tech to help us be better humans.

I love this app as it is changing the way I look at philanthropy and giving! I love the fact that I can transparently see how my money is contributing to the goals of the individual impacters. This is quite different than giving to large NGO’s where you never really know where the money is going. I like the diversity in both where impacters are from and the fact that their work encompasses everything from wildlife conservation to climate change. Really excited to see how my contribution will make a difference.
