Meet Monica! She\u2019s a fictional Spave user who\u2019ll take you through what one month of Spave usage can look like, from quick one-time donations to saving for a big life event. <\/span><\/p>\n

Monica is a web developer with a baby on the way. She\u2019s working on her <\/span>New Year\u2019s goals<\/a> <\/span>to give back to the animal shelter where she got her dog, Luna, and to save up for all the nursery digs she\u2019s been eyeing on her Pinterest board. <\/span><\/p>\n

She downloaded the Spave app and added in her giving and saving goals. Since she\u2019s so busy\u2014between planning her maternity leave at work and, you know, preparing to bring life into the world\u2014volunteering at the animal shelter isn\u2019t feasible, so Spave offers her a great opportunity to turn her spending habits into sustainable contributions. By setting an additional savings goal, she\u2019s also able to regularly set funds aside for helpful nursery upgrades. <\/span><\/p>\n

With her new nursery in mind, Monica orders a changing table for $75. 5%($3.75) of that purchase goes to Luna\u2019s shelter, while 10%($7.50) goes into Monica\u2019s nursery savings. <\/span><\/p>\n

At church, she talks to a neighbor who\u2019s fundraising to buy new computers for a Boys & Girls Club initiative. Between bites of baked goods, Monica opens her Spave app, and navigates to the spaveNOW tab where she effortlessly sends a one-time donation of $25 to her town\u2019s chapter of Boys & Girls Club. <\/span><\/p>\n

The following Sunday, Monica learns that her church is one of the 1.5 million accredited nonprofits in the Spave network, so she can use the Spave app\u2019s weekly fixed amount donation method to streamline her contributions, sending her church $50 weekly. Now all her charitable contributions are in one app\u2014and that means she gets just one donation receipt come tax season. <\/span><\/p>\n

When the changing table arrives, Monica realizes that her treadmill and exercise bike don\u2019t really fit in her vision for the nursery. She takes a moment to say goodbye to her fitness room, then lists them both on Facebook Marketplace. After selling off her fitness equipment, Monica sends a $200 spaveNOW into her savings. Those sales cover the cost of a new crib! <\/span><\/p>\n

Since the month is winding down, Monica taps into her Spave app\u2019s Insights page to see clearly how much she\u2019s already given and saved through her spending. She\u2019s proudly on-track for her shelter\u2019s giving goal and <\/span>making a huge impact on her nursery budget. Spave helps her feel accomplished about January and confident about the future she\u2019s building for herself, her family and her community.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
