Abstract: A method of correlating human activities with third-party donations. A participant downloads an app and enrolls on a web site. The app assigns a human activity to the participant. The app quantifies and monitors the human activity. A commitment is received from a third-party sponsor to donate things of value to an organization that controls the app-based system, the controlling organization, in turn, making a contribution to a predetermined charitable business, preferably a 501(c)(3) organization, such as a shelter and/or rescue organization. The charitable business receives contributions from the controlling organization dependent on performance of the participant's human activity.
