Pixhug Media, Inc., is a next generation enterprise focused on combining support for charitable initiatives worldwide with the power of social media. Through the Pixhug app, members can “hug” photos, which generates a contribution of 10¢ to the cause that they support. The platform is linked to Facebook, with “likes” on that platform generating the same 10¢ donation as with the Pixhug app.
One noteworthy Pixhug app user is Cameron Dallas, a Vine and YouTube star who has reached out to his global audience of followers in promoting charities he personally supports. In tandem with Variety Magazine and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Cameron pledged $5,000 to the nonprofit and generated more than 35,000 likes in less than a day. This fan-driven support directly translated into $3500 going to the children-focused organization.
Through Pixhug Media, photos shared can also bring needed funds and awareness to activities such as sheltering refugees, fighting disease, and bringing clean water to local communities. Pixhug encourages charities to contact it at pixhug.com and explore ways in which the app can help amplify their funding efforts.
