Boom charitable startups in Russia?
Recently, I constantly come across information about various young guys who run charitable startups across the country. It's great that IT people are trying to use their skills to make the world a better and kinder.
In Russia, everything is bad with charity, in the World Charity Index, it is at 138 out of 153, between Vietnam and Cambodia. That is, if briefly - our people do not help each other. At all.
But the situation is slowly changing, so I decided to make a small review of such projects, so that their creators know: they are not alone. So, let's go:

Website: 1minute.ru
Description: This project was one of the first in this wave, offering revolutionary mechanics: a user watches an advertisement or performs certain actions on a partner’s site, and the money goes to charity.
Unfortunately, it has not been updated for a long time and now it is hardly developing, but I am sure that it inspired many.
Website: vyzov.com
Description: Site for setting goals.
Set goals for yourself, for example, do not smoke for 10 days, make a bet, and if you can, the money will go to charity. You can still challenge your friends.
It is better to read more about the mechanics on the site itself, but the project has become a partner of WWF, and this already causes respect.
Website: social-coins.com
Description: A crowdfunding platform where you can help people without giving your money.
The user places a small advertisement in his social network, and the advertiser’s money (5-10p) for this is sent to a charity project.
Not exactly charity in its usual form, rather an open area where everyone can ask for anything (at least on an iPad), and people already decide whether they need to support this person or not.
Website: dobro.mail.ru
Description: Since we are talking about crowdfunding, it is impossible not to mention the project Welcome Mail.ru, which is now being actively promoted, including on Habré.
The most popular crowdfunding platform in Russia for traditional charity, analogue of Western GoFundMe.com or Razoo.com
Website: www.dobriyrynok.ru
Description: You place different things on the site, someone buys them, and the money goes to charity.
Or on the contrary, go to the section of goods, buy something interesting, and the money goes to charity.
Website: goodwillion.ru
Description: Auction charity meetings.
You buy a meeting with some person, and the money for this goes to charity.
Quite a famous project, originally from Belarus. Recently on StartFellows even flashed their counterpart - meetcafe.org
Children are waiting for gifts from the “First Channel”

Do not think for advertising, but it just so happened that I am a participant in one of the above projects, I decided not to hide this, so that my conscience would not torment me. I will not say what, so as not to promote it somehow “specially”.
That's all for now, if you know any innovative charity project that I missed - leave it in the comments, I will add to the post.
