Donately rewards you in exchange for placing ads on your phone’s lock screen. We’ll give you points each day you see ads on your phone’s lock screen. Points can also be earned by completing surveys & referring friends to Donately. You can exchange points you’ve earned to make different impacts with our charity partners.
Donately awards lock screen points once per day. Donately does not award points per unlock, per click or per ad viewed. We’ve found that advertisers are not interested in serving ads to people who are being incentivized per ad.
*Videos may not be available, so keep check periodically throughout the day for more videos.
Donately points can be exchanged for charity “impacts” which vary per charity. While points have no cash value, they can be exchanged at a general rate of 100 points to one “impact”, like planting a tree. After you redeem your points, we automatically add the impact you made to the Donately impacts tracker.
Donately is currently integrated with 7 philanthropy partners offering the following impacts:
- Plant a tree.
- Provide 10 meals.
- Add minutes to crisis hotlines.
- Remove trash from beaches.
- Provide safe drinking water.
- Water testing beaches.
- Provide a rescue animal with medical exam, microchip, and collar.
When you redeem Donately points, we’ll automatically add your impact to the global impact tracker.
There are two reasons for this. First, we need to verify your email address in order to ensure that credit from your points are sent to the right place. Second, we need to verify your phone number because Donately is designed to be used on mobile phones only that are able to send & receive text messages. Also, you are only permitted to have one Donately account per device, so once a number is associated with an account, it can not be used again.
When you refer a user you both will receive 25 bonus points.
- The Person you Referred will receive 25 bonus points when he or she creates an account using the referral link.
- You, the Referrer receive 25 points when the person that you referred is active in the Donately app for 10 days.
Note: The person you referred must have a verified phone number in order to receive your points automatically.
When you refer someone, you will receive your 25 bonus points after the referrer is active in the Donately app for 10 days. If you have not received your bonus referral points, please email Donately Support.
Your referral code is available in the Donately app by visiting the “Earn Points” page and then selecting “Refer Friends” from the list of options. You will see your code and a button to copy a link that can be shared via text & social media. The link will automatically include the code with any accounts that download Donately using that code.
