Abstract: A charitable donation system that facilitates and monitors charitable donation based on payment card loyalty contributions is disclosed. A simple web-based tool that allows people to join as members, authorize their loyalty contributions offered by payment card companies to be used for charitable donations, and to select which charity the member chooses to receive the loyalty contributions. The loyalty contributions are provided to the member-selected charity in the form of a pre-paid debit card which may only be used for direct, authorized purchases. The charitable donation system monitors and analyzes the charity's purchases and provides purchase information associated with the charity's purchase to the member. The charitable donation system provides a potentially, long-term stream of contributions which may continue indefinitely without further member involvement.
