JustGiving has teamed up with Spotify to launch a party-related fundraising app, where party guests pledge money to a charity of the host’s choice in exchange for their favourite song being added to the party playlist.

The app, called Guilty Pledgers, is accessed by signing in with a Facebook account. Through the app, guests can add songs to a party’s playlist, which are then sent directly to Spotify. Donations made go through JustGiving.

JustGiving has opened up its API to be used as tech for good, and Guilty Pledgers is one of the first uses of the JustGiving API. The app was the brainchild of Andy Whitlock, Ben Tomlinson and Katy Theakston.

Whitlock said: "We wanted to make fundraising as feel-good as possible. And what could feel better than partying to your absolute favourite tunes without your friends being able to judge you?"

Jamie Parkins, API and platform product manager at JustGiving, added: “This is a really creative use of JustGiving’s API. We can see it being used anywhere from weddings to house parties and is a really fresh fundraising idea for charities to take to their supporters. It’s a really innovative way to embed fundraising in peoples’ lives.”
