Just tell us what causes you care about and how much you can give, and every month we send you a single email with 3 vetted charities working in the areas you’re passionate about. Pick which one to send your donation to, and you’re done. And because Ampl is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, all of your donations are tax-deductible.

MyCycleIQ is a privacy-first, science-backed cycle-syncing app designed for teens—and available to all who menstruate. Created to fill the gap in personalized hormonal health, we provide teens with a safe, empowering space to understand their cycles through bite-sized education, gamified learning, and inclusive community features. With optional parent or guardian visibility, the app fosters trust while protecting user autonomy. While teens are our primary focus, our platform supports anyone seeking to move from confusion to clarity and from isolation to empowerment.
