Bono connects users with vetted U.S. charities and automates monthly giving plans that start at $5 per month, with an average donor contribution around $20 and some donors giving over $1,000 monthly. The product includes a mobile app (iOS and Android) and weekly impact reports showing how donations translate into meals, sessions, and other outcomes. Bono has expanded its catalog from an initial 100 charities to all 1.5 million registered U.S. nonprofits that meet its standards (ratings above 8.5 on sites like Charity Navigator and GuideStar plus strong social presence). The company also runs creator partnerships (flat-fee, affiliate revenue share, and donated-commission models) and currently has more than a dozen creator partners. Founders Dan Eblagon and Ron Levy say the company will use new funding to enhance the user experience and finish an AI-powered chatbot that is in pilot and expected to launch publicly by September. Bono soft-launched in December to respond to the Los Angeles wildfires and emphasizes vetting and impact transparency as core differentiators.
