Can You Change the World With 10 Cents? (There Is a Way)

Can You Change the World With 10 Cents? (There Is a Way)
Sponsored

Don't believe us? You're about to embarrass yourself.

This post is presented in partnership with ImpactPay.

Ten cents. What can it buy you? Err, not a whole lot.

You could flip it to decide which direction your footy team's gonna kick, or collect a bunch to fatten up your piggy bank, but otherwise, 10c feels like nothing at all.

But what if you could somehow use your 10c to change the world? We asked some students how they would use that tiny amount of money to do good. See their answers below!

(You can also see their reaction when we told them about ImpactPay, a new debit card that takes 10c with each transaction and puts it toward your chosen cause. It’s doing good made effortless; you just Tap & Give. And given how ImpactPay estimates there will be a total of 577 global non-cash transactions in 2018, 10c from each of those purchases would amount to a donation pool of $57.7 billion. Now that can make a difference.)

Psst. If you're looking for an easier way to donate, learn all about our mates at ImpactPay, who help young people "be good" and "do good" with their money and contribute to charities through "micro-giving". (That means donating 10c with every tap.) It's free to sign-up, and you can even choose the charities you want to receive your donations. It’s time to HumanUp. Tap & Give. Find out more.

    I think you've got it the wrong way around. The story should be focused on how 10 cents makes no difference. By donating 10c you are barely affected. But altogether it makes all the difference. The story you have proposed talks about how a sheer 10c every transaction doesn't impact you, but collectively it can can change the world. Tops to ImapctPay! It's a great idea.
