“The global philanthropic market is worth about $1.5 trillion. In the US, there are 1.7 million nonprofits getting about $471 billion, which means Americans are giving over $1 billion a day. The question is why then do most nonprofits still struggle raising money?”

“Buy now/pay later lending is normally associated with the point-of-sale loans that consumers use to finance large purchases, though a startup contends the idea can also be deployed in other ways, such as boosting funding for nonprofits.”

“B Generous, a first of its kind FinTech for good platform, announces the official launch of Donate Now, Pay Later™ (DNPL), a revolutionary new tool allowing donors to make contributions to their favorite nonprofits through a proprietary philanthropic credit product called a Point of Donation Loan™ (PoDL).”

“Using Donate Now, Pay Later™, B Generous says the nonprofit receives the donation immediately, and the donor gets the tax receipt right away, but the donor pays nothing out of pocket at the point of donation and instead pays over time, with no interest, costs or fees.” The goal, it says, is to increase average donation values for nonprofits.”

How it works: When you use BGenerous to make a donation, you pay no money up front. Instead, Drake Bank lends you the money, which gets paid directly to the charity. You then pay the bank back in installments, interest-free, over three to nine months.”

“Let’s say you want to donate to a nonprofit that’s meaningful to you. But you don’t have the extra funds to do it now. So, you might wait until later in the year or not donate at all.

A new fintech platform has created a way for you to donate and then pay the commitment later.”
