Milkywire Reviews

Milkywire does not help you find local charities, it just lists some random people and asks you to pay them money. I was expecting that Milkywire would be about finding volunteer opportunities, but it just asks for money. The design of Milkywire 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 this app. 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 this app, you can get closer to these impacters and follow their efforts through regular updates straight from the field.

this app is new, but you can clearly see the potential. Most big charity is so old-fashioned and inefficient. As this app 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 Milkywire 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.

Had a resolution to be more charitable and give more this year (especially to environmental and wildlife causes with all the negative changes to our planet), and wanted to find smaller organizations who likely needed it more than the big traditional ones.

But probs like for everyone else it started to become a tiring task due to the effort of having to research where my money was going to go to, who needed most help etc.

However in doing this I randomly stumbled across the this app app, and it honestly feels like one of those ideas you’re surprised hasn’t already happened. Really easy to find and learn more about different people doing good around the world, pretty easy to set up payments to them if you want, and I love the fact you get video updates etc from them- reassures you it’s going to good use, and feels nice to know and see you’re making a difference.

Highly recommend.

I absolutely love Milkywire and following these local impactors. this app makes it possible to find these real people that are making a change in the world and also for me to help donate to the right person, following their journey and see what they are doing. Finally an app that makes a change and exist for a good purpose!

I love this app! It’s a great to learn about people working in the field doing awesome work for animals and the environment. You get to watch and learn - great projects with fascinating animals in awesome places! It’s never boring. It’s like watching NatGeo but you get to do something too.

Amazing! This is absolutely going to change the face of giving. I love this company’s mission, and how they are disrupting a broken donation system by connecting users directly with people and organizations in a most seamless way! THANK YOU FOR THE INCREDIBLE WORK YOU ARE DOING!
