The Impact Fund is one of the three Squirrelll.ing platform features, alongside the Daily Pool (community layer) and Savings Pods (personal growth layer). It automates giving: you select one organization, several, or all of them, pick a daily or weekly schedule, and the same insignificant fixed amount is donated each time. With multiple organizations selected, donations rotate randomly between them, and every donation is recorded in your history. No platform fee is deducted.
Key Takeaways
- Giving runs automatically in the background, like the rest of the platform.
- Donations rotate across the organizations you select.
- 100% of each donation reaches the organization — no platform fee.
