Abstract: System and methods for donation direction with transaction verification are provided. A system implemented method includes electronically receiving a first data file including an amount of a transaction between a user and the affiliate and a unique identifier associated with the user and the donation system, creating a record in an electronic database indicating an amount of money to be received from the affiliate for charity accounts, electronically receiving a second data file containing data captured by a personal computing device of the user regarding the transaction, comparing, verifying the amount of the transaction based on the first and second data files, and transmitting instructions to cause a transfer from an affiliate account to each of charity accounts portions of the amount of money based on an apportionment from the user.

Abstract: A method and system for user-directed donations from a company to a charity in which an affiliate company agrees to donate a percentage of each transaction with a registered user to one or more charities selected by the user. The user may also select a percentage of each donation which is to be donated to each of its selected charities. The user conducts the transaction with a personal payment account, which is any form of payment which is not specific to a single company or related group of companies. In this way, the user may conduct business with substantially any business and generate donations which the user directs, so long as the business is an affiliate.
