Give Me a Dollar
No charity. No sob story. We just want a dollar and we know you have one.
Why Do We Want Your Dollar?
We asked ourselves the same question. The honest answer: we want one, and you have one. That's it. That's the whole business plan.
We're not going to insult your intelligence by inventing a mission statement. We didn't build a well in a village. We don't have a golden retriever named "Hope" in our logo. There is no touching origin story here — just a website with an opinion about your wallet.
Somewhere out there, other sites are asking for your money to save something, fund something, or feed something. We are asking for your money because a dollar is a nice, round, easily-parted-with amount, and we'd like to have it.
- It's not for charity. There is no charity.
- It's not for a cause. There is no cause.
- It's not a scam either. It's just... a dollar.
How It Works
Three steps. That's the whole process. Try to keep up.
01Click the Button
That's the whole first step. You find a button that says something like "Give Me a Dollar" and you click it with your finger or mouse.
02Give Us a Dollar
You enter your card info, we take exactly one (1) American dollar, and you feel a brief, confusing sense of accomplishment.
03That's Literally It
No welcome kit. No tote bag. No tax receipt. Just the quiet, private knowledge that a website somewhere is one dollar richer because of you.
Totally Real, Very Serious Numbers
We ran the numbers ourselves, on a calculator we also do not deserve. Here's the very legitimate data.

People Who Felt Weird About It
And gave us a dollar anyway. Respect.
What People Are (Not) Saying
We did not pay for these. We did not need to — a dollar is a dollar, and apparently that's a whole personality now.
“I clicked the button expecting a receipt for my taxes. There was no receipt. There was no cause. There was just a website that now has my dollar. 5 stars.”
Gave a dollar, felt nothing
“It asked for a dollar. It did not explain why. It did not need to. I respect the honesty more than any charity that's ever emailed me nine times.”

“My therapist asked why I gave a website a dollar for no reason. I told her it was the first purchase in my life with zero expectations attached. She had no notes.”
Regrets nothing, mostly

Questions You Might Have
We anticipated your doubts. We did not anticipate caring that much about them.
Just One Dollar. That's Literally It.
No cause. No catch. Just a dollar, because we want one and you have one.
