Google is well known for its philanthropy, but it’s latest campaign hopes to donate to children with special needs as well as increase usage of their new Android Pay payment system. Available now throughout the US, Android Pay joins a long list of payment systems that are trying to take off at the same time – to make their payment option a little more attractive, Google is instituting a campaign which will donate $1 for every use of Android Pay to special needs education projects. Google collaborated on this campaign with DonorsChoose.org which helps to support the 6.4 million children with special needs in the US.
Google also says that if you use Android Pay on Black Friday, they will double their donation. All-in-all, Google is willing to donate up $1 million USD through this campaign which lasts till December 31st, a substantial donation to a cause that sees many teachers digging into their own pockets to provide the resources and care that their students need. There’s likely no better reason to start using Android Pay, so if you’re in the US and have a compatible device, make sure you spend big this Holiday season.
