Today’s Solutions: October 29, 2026

Every year Americans spend $220 billion on charities. PlanG is a centralized platform that lets philanthropists manage all their donations from a singular place– something that can be challenging when you are donating large sums of money, or have numerous charities you often donate to. The platform PlanG has come up with is helpful, but even more intriguing are the corporate partnerships PlanG has developed. An example of this is a GAP campaign that was run offering 20% off. Consumers who capitalized on the 20% deal were then given the option at checkout to donate ½ of the 20% to the charity of their choice. This is a win-win-win for corporations, consumers, and charities. | Read more about PlanG on Springwise
