Dexterity Ventures Launches New Version of API So Developers Can Inject Philanthropy into Projects

Calgary’s Dexterity Ventures has released version 2.0 of their GIVE_api, which allows developers to incorporate philanthropy into their web and mobile projects.

DVI has collected data on the charity sector and they have information on 1.6 million charities in North America. With the GIVE_api, developers can harness this information to integrate social good into their clients’ apps and websites.

“For example, mobile game developers can add a charitable giving feature to their games, or enterprise app developers can boost company CSR efforts by facilitating direct donations,” said Adile Abbadi-MacIntosh, Chief Technology Officer at DVI.

The GIVE_api is free. The service allows for cross-border donations and accepts all payment types.

“With a few simple calls to our service, developers can provide their users the ability to support the organizations that matter the most to them,” said Abbadi-MacIntosh added. “For example, mobile game developers can add a charitable giving feature to their games, or enterprise app developers can boost company CSR efforts by facilitating direct donations.”

DVI is the parent company of Place2Give.com. Organizations such as Fundrazr and Give A Mile have used DVI technology for their own social good projects.
