Celebrities & Giving Back
FunDonor is all about celebrities and influencers giving back so I thought we could take a look at some notable celebrity influencers and see how motivated they are to give back to their fans. Take a look at our latest Blog where we examine 10 popular celebrities who have given back in extraordinary ways. This is the motivation that is the driving force behind FunDonor. Creating a platform that brings influencers together for one core reason – empowering young people.Â

Keeping it Simple Â
The key attraction for FunDonor will be its simplicity. As the development roadmap unfolds, I’m getting excited at how the platform will work. Donating $1 will be as simple as sending a text.

Charities will be accountable to donors through a simple process. I cant wait!
