JellyChip: The first ever CHAT APP for Free Charity

During the past years, our method of communicating evolved- the data we use to communicate grew bigger and more complex. Chat applications became the innovation that addressed this evolving requirement. It leveled up the messaging experience of millions of users around the world. From simple text conversations, now you can express your thoughts and feelings using emojis, animated gifs, shared photos and videos. It gave us a platform to communicate much faster, convenient and fun. We enjoy seamless connectivity like never before.

But have you ever imagined using an app that does not only allow you to communicate, share photos and share snaps but also gives you a wonderful opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of the socially disadvantaged for FREE? Interesting right?

JellyChip is the first app of its kind to merge social networking and charity to create a global community of givers.  It lets you send instant messages, share snaps of your daily lives, and answer surveys and trivias for fun. Each of these features in the app makes you earn points for free, which in turn you can use to buy gifts for donation. Gifts require a number of points before being given by JellyChip to their charities, which you and your fellow users have to earn and donate together for.  JellyChip will pay the charities for the gift donated by its users. If there is a specific cause you want to help out in, be it saving nature, helping kids in need, or feeding stray animals, JellyChip has given users the power to vote for gifts as well. JellyChip’s donations range from saving whales, to feeding the homeless, and planting trees all over the world.

Earning Points

The process of making a difference is called “earning points”. When a user wants to buy the active gift, they can complete a number of activities to earn points and contribute to the Lifeline (based on limits). When the gift is complete we pay our charity partners for that gift so that they can enact the change on behalf of our users. Users can view all successful gifts in “Live Feed” and ”Stats”.

Every action is worth points…

+2 pts for receiving a message

+5 pts for viewing a Snap

+20 pts for answering a survey

+20 pts for watching a video ad
Users can also buy points

The Philippines is one of the biggest users of social media in South East Asia and also, one of the biggest countries with charity volunteers. With these attributes, the country caught the attention of the global brand, JellyChip. JellyChip has chosen Muovere Veloce Consultancy Inc. (MVCI) to represent them here in the Philippines. Working hand in hand, the MVCI and JellyChip team aims to help Filipinos one charity gift at a time.

James Downing- CEO, JellyChip

-lived a comfortable life in Australia, the oldest in the Downing siblings of two; he always dreamt of making a difference in the world at a young age. Such an inclination is not a stranger to their family that his parents, Cliff and Julie, have been very supportive of his advocacies then until now.

James grew up in an open-minded and very accepting family, where ideas are discussed and interpellated in a very friendly manner.  His parents trained him to pursue his interest and passion according to his will and timeline, hence James were given a free hand to steer his life according to his phase. James finished his bachelor’s degree from the University of Melbourne and an MBA from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. While a corporate career seemed to be a convenient option, having worked for Ernst & Young from 2012 to 2014, he has an inner calling to pursue what his heart really desired.

In late 2014, James developed and launched the world’s first social network for free charity – JellyChip. His mobile application, on the first wave already attracted 61,000 users worldwide and has generated 8,000 plus charity gifts for various cause-oriented organization in the likes of WWF, World Vision and UNICEF and more - among a growing list of beneficiaries. When asked what made him give up his day job, “I found a new way and solution to charity giving. The charity industry is tired, people are tired of donating the same way to the same organizations with the same results. Technology is everywhere today. We can connect daily on Facebook, Snapchat, WhatsApp and Viber - but how come we can't save the life of someone in need?”, James explains.

JellyChip is gearing for global rollout, while gaining ground in Singapore and in the US, James is bringing his unique product and proposition in  other parts of the world. In the Philippines, he has now appointed a partner, Muovere Veloce Consultancy, Inc (MVCI), to help him propagate his cause in the country. “I am happy and excited to work with like-minded people; individuals who also believe in the power of people and the fact we can crowdsource giving across the world. The business angle takes the backseat when you realize the potential we have for people-power, for people to join our cause and together be part of the solution.” James beams.
