Beam, a social enterprise that supports homeless people into stable jobs and homes, has been added to Revolut Donations.
Revolut users can now donate to Beam, and help homeless people raise funds for training, work tools, travel costs, childcare and rental deposits, directly through the app.聽
Funds donated to Beam through Revolut Donations will be distributed equally between Beam鈥檚 beneficiaries, who each get their own 鈥榗rowdfunding鈥� profile on Beam鈥檚 website to remove the financial barriers in their way.聽
Beam then matches them with ethical landlords and employers, in sectors ranging from construction to healthcare.
Revolut users will be able to see the impact of their donations through a dedicated Revolut impact page on Beam鈥檚 website. This allows them to follow the progress of the people they鈥檝e supported and send messages of encouragement to spur them on.
With Revolut Donations, 100% of the money given goes straight to the chosen charity or organisation. Donations can be found on the hub or by searching 鈥榙onations鈥� in the Revolut app and users can choose to set up recurring donations, spare change donations, or simply make a one-off donation to the cause of their choice.
鈥淲e鈥檙e excited to bring Beam to Revolut鈥檚 community of more than 20 million users,鈥� said Alex Stephany, founder and CEO of Beam.聽
鈥淛ust as Revolut has empowered customers to make the most of their money, Beam is showing there鈥檚 a new way to support homeless people for the long-term: by giving them the skills, tools and confidence to earn a living and become financially independent.鈥�
