👋 Hello to everyone here who genuinely cares about the world and wants to make even a small difference. Let’s start the week by doing some good together!

Here’s what’s inside 🧠✨
1. AI-powered cause detection - we analyze what you’re reading and surface the real issues behind the story.
2. Smart charity portfolios - we recommend the most effective, vetted charities tackling those issues.
3. One-tap donation - you set a monthly budget, and we split it across the charities in your portfolio.
4. Weekly impact reports - see exactly what your money is doing every week. Trust us, it's addictive!
5. Unified tax receipt - all your donations in one place, ready for tax season.
First time hearing about Bono?
We started Bono less than a year ago to make giving easier, smarter, and more impactful. We realized that everyday donors (people like us, not just the billionaires) deserve to donate with confidence, understand what their donation is actually doing, and feel good about giving more. Our mission is to make anyone to feel like a philanthropist, whether you're giving $5 a month or $50,000 a year.
That's also the reason that we currently focus on monthly donation plans and not just one-off donations. We believe that people really care, and we want to provide a radically different experience.
Now, with Read and Give, we’re bringing that power to the web, so every headline becomes a chance to help.
Thanks!
🙏 Huge thanks to our world-class team of makers and to all Bono users making a difference every week.
💥 Install the extension, try it out and please do tell us what you think!
