# Cauze

> Cauze is a Boise-built giving app that puts a donor-advised fund - the kind of foundation that usually needs a lawyer and a five-figure minimum - into anyone's pocket, then wraps it in a social feed. Give a dollar or ten thousand to any of 2 million nonprofits, set a monthly goal, and let friends pile onto your gift the way they'd like a photo. Its parent, the Cauze Charitable Fund, is a registered 501(c)(3) that pools everyone's picks and cuts the checks.
