Updated October 15, 2026: We could not verify a current download for the original Donut app in Apple’s US catalog, and its former website no longer resolves in our check. This page preserves our October 2023 coverage. We have removed its obsolete website and download links; no replacement app or closure date has been confirmed.
Donut was presented in our 2023 coverage as a way to connect charitable giving with a social feed. The idea was to let people discover causes, see activity from friends and follow updates from organizations they supported. The original screenshots below show that product presentation.
A social approach to donations
Our original article focused on a feature called “Snowball”: a way to make a group’s contributions visible and encourage others to take part. It also described updates from participating charities, intended to help donors understand what their contributions supported. These are descriptions of the 2023 product, not a claim about its present operation.
The posts below came from the product’s original launch period. They are retained as dated historical material. Fundraisers, causes and tax claims mentioned in an old social post need fresh verification before someone acts on them.
Finding a cause today
If an old Donut link brought you here, contact the organization you want to support through its current official website. Check that the campaign is still active and that its payment destination belongs to the organization. An old app screenshot or embedded post does not confirm either point.
For context, donation services such as GoFundMe are separate products with their own campaigns and terms. We have not identified one as a successor to Donut. This archive remains focused on the original app rather than redirecting readers to an unrelated service under the same name.
