Vending machines in malls will let you donate to 15 different Charities. We are fast approaching the year end season and if you’re in the mood to share your blessings, then you might want to check out this exciting campaign by digital wealth platform Endowus.
Endowus has placed 12 vending machines in four shopping malls across Singapore to facilitate donations.
Unlike a conventional vending machine which dispenses goods, these vending machines — called Giving Machines — allow users to choose tangible gifts such as food and stationery, or programmes, such as rehabilitation sessions with patients and educational therapy and pay for it with a donation (either S$5, S$10 or S$20).
They can also select which beneficiary their donation goes to.
For each donation, the donor will receive a giving card which indicates the amount donated as well as the potential good that it can pay for.
The Singapore-based fintech startup hopes to raise S$50,000 dollars from the Giving Machines, which will provide financial assistance to the following beneficiaries:
Aidha
Boys’ Town
Care Corner Singapore Limited
Centre for Fathering Limited
Children’s Aid Society
Children’s Wishing Well
Extra•Ordinary People
The Food Bank Singapore Limited
Make-A-Wish Foundation (Singapore) Limited
New Life Stories Limited
NTUC-U Care Fund
RSVP Singapore
Rainbow Centre Singapore
The Red Pencil
TTSH Community Fund
This campaign is a collaboration between Endowus, UOL Group and Marina Square (which provided the locations for the vending machines), Reinvend Solutions Pte Ltd. (for the supply of the vending machines) and Giving.sg (for donations received through the virtual vending machines).
Endowus will also launch virtual vending machines in December.
These virtual vending machines will allow people to donate directly to a charity through one of the 15 campaigns on Giving.sg.
Unlike the Giving Machines, the dollar value of donations made via the virtual vending machines will not be limited, meaning you can donate as much as you want.
Available from December 1, these virtual machines can be accessed via physical machines located in Beauty World, Clarke Quay, Farrer Park and Hougang.
Date: Now till 31st December 2021
You can find the Giving Machines at the following locations:
-Kinex
-Marina Square
-United Square
-Velocity
