Dollar Donation Club is a subscription giving service: members give a dollar a month, pooled and directed to vetted, high-impact social and environmental projects. Founded in 2020 by 📝Seth Blaustein, its premise is that a small, frictionless, recurring gift — multiplied across a very large membership — can fund outsized impact. The long-term vision is a collective "super-philanthropist": a billion people each giving a dollar a month.
The model is built on three findings about why people give: giving rises when the outcome is tangible, when people feel empathy for those affected, and when the barrier to giving is near zero. Dollar Donation Club is designed around all three — a single recurring dollar attached to specific, legible projects. It sits in the category of curated recurring-giving platforms working to make philanthropy a default subscription rather than a one-off act.
Dollar Donation Club is a 📝Weekly Accounting client and one of the 📝Citizens of One ventures we help keep financially legible.
