About
From every gift we deduct a 5% admin fee plus 3% + $0.30 for card processing. Everything else goes to the charity you pick before you give. On a $100 gift that is $91.70 to charity. We pay every charity out after the end of each month and publish proof.
outgive.lol is a public leaderboard where generosity is the score. You give to claim a rank for your website or X handle. The more you give, the higher you rank. Whoever gives the most sits at #1 and soaks up the clicks.
The twist: this is not an ad auction. When you give, you pick one of a dozen well-known, highly rated charities, and the charity share of your gift goes to that organization. We keep running totals for every charity and who gave to each, pay each charity out in aggregate after the end of every month, and post the date, amount, reference, and proof on the Payouts page.
Why?
Pay-to-rank boards are fun, and attention is worth money. We figured that money might as well buy malaria nets, feed people, and dig wells. You get marketing. A great charity gets funded. Everyone wins except your competitor at #2.
How ranks work
Your listing's rank is its lifetime total of gifts. New listings start at $5. Give again any time under the same URL or @handle to raise your total and climb. Ties go to whoever got there first. Full mechanics are on the rules page.
The fine print, honestly
- outgive.lol is operated by Press Start Studios LLC, an independent, for-profit Texas limited liability company - not a charity, nonprofit, fundraiser, or donor-advised fund. Gifts are payments to us paired with our public, contractual commitment to pay the charity share onward. They are not tax deductible and are final.
- Charities on our list do not sponsor, endorse, or operate this site and have no relationship with it. We simply pay them, in aggregate, after each month; charities under $25 in a month roll into the next payout.
- Rankings are entertainment. A listing is a paid placement, not a recommendation. We screen sites for malware, phishing, and adult content and remove listings that break the rules, without refund.
- We keep a monthly ledger per charity, publish it with proof, and keep the underlying payment records.
