About us
How it all started
Just as drips of water over millennia can carve out caves and canyons, one small mitzvah multiplied several times over can move mountains as well.
That’s the belief of Dr. Jonathan Donath, a chiropractor in White Plains, New York, who got an epiphany in 2018 while dropping a dollar bill into the tzedakah box at his shul. “No matter how much money I give to charity, I still get a mitzvah every time I drop a dollar in,” he thought. “How can I guarantee that I do this mitzvah every day for a buck?”
He looked for an organization that was doing this and couldn’t find one. So, he and a couple of his friends had a website built and created a nonprofit: dailygiving.org.

FAQ’s
How much of my money goes to the actual charities?
One hundred percent! Our operations and marketing budgets are covered by a private group of donors so that our Daily Givers’ full donations help fund a different beneficiary each and every day.
Can I give more than $1 each day?
Of course! Most people give $1 a day, but many give additional daily dollars for family members, loved ones who are sick, or for those who have passed away. Please view our most popular dollar amounts per day here.
How often will I be charged?
You can choose to have your account charged either monthly or yearly. We do not charge your account every day, since this would lead to extra processing fees. We then distribute a portion of your gift every day until the next recurring charge.
Can I give more than $1 each day?
Of course! Currently $1 a day is the lowest amount we can take. Most people give $1 a day, but many give $1 a day for additional family members or even on behalf of someone who is sick or for those who are no longer with us.
Can I join if I live outside of the United States?
Can I dedicate my donation in memory or honor of someone or an event?
