Change Round-Up is revolutionizing how charities raise donations by taking the proven idea of "the spare change jar" and applying it to the world of e-commerce. We do this by partnering with existing online retailers to ask shoppers during checkout if they would like to round-up their purchase price to the nearest whole dollar and donate that electronic "spare change" to a charity of their choice.
