💊 An ad network for raising funds for medical needs.

Humanity Box

Humanity Box is a free ad network designed to increase exposure to individuals raising funds for personal medical needs.

What does it do?

Humanity Box works similarly to how paid ad networks work (such as The Deck, Carbon Ads, BSA One, etc). You install an ad code onto your website, and it delivers advertisements on each page load.

The difference is that ads in the Humanity Box network are funding campaigns for people are who sick and experiencing financial hardship as a result. The campaigns are sourced from GiveForward.

The ads link directly to the sourced campaign. No money ever changes hands with Humanity Box. It is simply an experimental project for the sake of being good.

Why does it exist?

No one should have to choose between bankruptcy or death.

Campaign providers such as GiveForward are providing a vital service by allowing people to create funding campaigns to help pay for medical treatments. Oftentimes, however, the campaigns never reach beyond friends, family, and other people specifically browsing the platform looking to make donations. While this is amazing in and of itself, many campaigns never reach their goal.

Humanity Box's aim is to bring exposure to these campaigns to as many sites on the internet as possible. We hope that by simply increasing traffic to these campaigns we can help them get funded when they otherwise might not.

How does it work?

We source funding campaigns from GiveForward.

The ad code is delivered via Amazon CloudFront.

We display 10 campaigns per 24-hour period, after which we rotate in 10 new campaigns.
