How we raise money for great causes – and the prize draw
Charity Engine is what we call a "Crowdsourced Cloud Service":
- How does it work? Download our app, and your PC lends its spare processing power to the network whenever you're not using it.
- What do we do with it? Together, our PCs form a powerful grid that rivals major cloud services like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud – but at a fraction of the cost.
- Where does the money go? We share the profits with global charities such as Oxfam and Care – and a prize draw (*every CPU hour donated earns a draw entry). And perhaps the biggest benefit: huge amounts of compute capacity are donated to support scientific and medical research.
It’s a win-win-win-win: affordable computing for customers, money for charity, prizes for volunteers – and billions of hours of computing donated to research that matters.
