Born from a simple question
The idea behind DariDobro — what if helping others were as easy as buying a pair of socks?
DariDobro
DariDobro (ДариДобро) turns everyday online shopping into support for verified Russian charities. You pay the same price — the store funds the donation
Shop as usual. Help for real. DariDobro turns the cashback from your purchases into donations to verified Russian charities — prices don’t change, and no money leaves your wallet: the store pays
what it is
Conscious charity, transparent results. You don’t pay anything and store prices stay the same: the platform lives on a share of the commission stores already pay for referred customers, and directs most of it to the charity you chose — cashback that does good instead of landing in your wallet
DariDobro is the Offerstock product with real users. It is a Russian-language product, working with Russian non-profits, and it is live
how it works
- Choose a charity. Support up to four charities at once and split the donation between them. Charities and proportions can be changed at any moment
- Shop as usual. You make an ordinary purchase, and thanks to the store partnership it turns into help for the charities
- You help. Your chosen charities receive support from your purchases, and every transfer is visible in your account
- purchase
- store commission
- chosen fund
where it runs
DariDobro is a website and a Chrome extension, published in the Chrome Web Store. The account — charities, split, transfer history — lives on daridobro.online
The extension does the same commerce activation the site does, but it travels with you into the stores instead of waiting for you to come back. On a supported store it activates the offer and the donation for that visit, and it carries a side panel with the shopping interface, so choosing where to buy and knowing the purchase will count happen in the same place
verification and transparency
DariDobro works only with non-profits registered in the Ministry of Justice registry, and each charity’s reporting is reviewed before it is onboarded. Transfers to charities are made regularly, and each one is accompanied by a payment order you can inspect in your account
The point of that plumbing is that the whole donation cycle stays inspectable: a purchase produces a commission, the commission produces a transfer, and the transfer has a document behind it
where it stands
Live, in Russian, for Russian charities: the site and the Chrome extension are both published, and we are onboarding charities now. That last part is the slow one — a Russian non-profit has to agree to take part before it can appear, so the catalogue grows at the pace of consent rather than at the pace of code
No numbers here yet. The product is days old, and the honest version of this section is the one without a metric in it
the story behind it
The idea started as a question about how hard it should be to help. That story is in the journal: Born from a simple question
