A PUBLIC KINDNESS ENGINE FOR NEW YORK CITY

Help keep the good deeds going

Every day the engine keeps a directory of real ways to help true, reposts lost animals and people asking for help, pairs neighbors who asked to be paired, and hands anyone who presses its button something good to do. Your support keeps it running, and lets it do more of it.

All payments final. No refunds, except a charge we made by mistake. Terms · Privacy

Please know before you give: this supports AURA ENGINE, a project run by Psy-Opt-In. It is not a charity, so your gift is not tax-deductible, and it is not passed on to other organizations.
WHAT IT PAYS FOR, IN ORDER
  1. Soteira, so more people can talk to her every day.
  2. The engine's hosting, so it reads the city every hour and never pauses.
  3. More reach, so the day's good gets to more people.
YOUR PRIVACY

Stripe handles the payment. The engine never touches the money, never shows your name, email or address, and keeps nothing about you but a one-way hash. The company's books are private.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP, FREE

Support goes to Psy-Opt-In, which runs the engine. It is not a registered charity, so gifts are not tax-deductible. Thank you.

Thinking bigger than a gift? Why back the engine.

Ask the engine

It answers from a fixed list, so it cannot make anything up. If you are in trouble it points you to real people first.
