<\/p>\nWhat if you can give to charities without a single cent and only take up half a minute of your time? And the Charities actually get the support they need. I am happy to announce that Happi has launched an app in Singapore to do more than that. Read on to know more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Basically, the Happi app allows\u00a0people to get special deals on high quality offerings and potentially win those in lucky draws and Random Acts of Happiness. and it can drives further donations to the cause they care\u00a0about by responding to a simple quick five- question survey.<\/p>\n
I downloaded the app and registered as a new user. It took me\u00a0a few minutes. After that, I did a survey to earn my smile points – Very simple 30 seconds survey. BTW, you can also help to raise awareness of the many charities listed inside. I suggest you download the app and explore from there.<\/p>\n
Here are the Partners and Merchants the app supports.<\/p>\n

Happi enables people to get special deals on high quality offerings and potentially win those in lucky draws and Random Acts of Happiness1. The app drives further donations to the cause they care\u00a0about by responding to a simple quick five- question survey.<\/p>\n Who Does Happi Benefit<\/strong><\/p>\n Consumers <\/strong><\/p>\n Happi enables its members to win prizes and get tailored promotions, all while\u00a0supporting the community group they select. In just 30 seconds and without\u00a0spending a single cent, members simply log in, select deals they want to win or\u00a0buy, and then take a five-question survey. That 30-second survey drives a\u00a0donation to their charity, downloads the coupon for the deal to their phone,\u00a0enters them in a lucky draw to win that item, and, if they select 10 offerings a\u00a0month, they get another chance to win each item they selected in the\u00a0Random Act of Happiness.<\/p>\n Partners <\/strong><\/p>\n Happi currently provides 45 teams, clubs, charities, student groups and\u00a0community groups with funding. Specifically, $1 per signup, $0.10 per \u201csmile\u201d,\u00a0$10,000 for each 50,000 smiles, and $5 for every purchase the partner\u2019s\u00a0supporters make. Happi estimates that for every 1,000 actively engaged users,\u00a0doing one 30- second, five- question survey per day, Happi will be able to\u00a0drive $144,000 annually to each partner organisation.<\/p>\n Merchants <\/strong><\/p>\n Happi currently enables over 90 merchants to distribute targeted promotions\u00a0to a large and well-defined audience free-of-charge. The only charge to the\u00a0merchant is a donation made to the respective community group when a\u00a0Happi member makes a purchase.<\/p>\n Sponsors <\/strong><\/p>\n Sponsor support makes all of this possible. Brands and researchers sponsor\u00a0each survey question and event invitation to understand, engage, and\u00a0manage one-to-one interactions at scale with people of specific consumer\u00a0profiles.<\/p>\n Greg Lipper, Happi’s Founder and Chief Happiness Officer, said, \u201cHappi is a platform for\u00a0people helping people where each participant\u2019s small acts lead to big impacts for any\u00a0cause they\u2019re passionate about. We are especially excited to launch in Singapore, where\u00a0people are so busy that they find it challenging to support the causes and groups they care\u00a0about. Happi now gives people a fast, easy, free, and rewarding way to give support to the group they care about. This is a great example of how social enterprises can create huge social benefit while also being sustainable without individual financial support, and at a very grassroots level.\u201d\u00a0Despite being very new in the market, Happi has successfully managed to secure several early-adopter Partners who are convinced of Happi\u2019s ability to drive funds to their\u00a0organizations through their existing databases.<\/p>\n Mr. Rob Pierce, co-founder of Edible Garden City (EGC), said, “Our partnership has made it\u00a0quick and easy for both new and existing EGC followers to drive funds towards our\u00a0organization, get special offers on great products, and potentially win those products in\u00a0Happi’s lucky draws and Random Acts of Happiness. We will use the money Happi gives us to\u00a0improve our infrastructure at the Autism Resource Centre. In addition to financial support,\u00a0Happi also provides EGC free publicity, facilitates corporate sponsorships, and supports our\u00a0events. All of this helps us deliver on our vision to make Singapore an Edible Garden City.”<\/p>\n Mr. Yong Teck Meng, National Director of Habitat for Humanity Singapore, said,\u201dOur\u00a0partnership has enabled us to reach both new and existing Habitat supporters to raise\u00a0awareness and funds in our endeavor to improve the quality of life for those from\u00a0disadvantaged and marginalized backgrounds. Happi gives us a vehicle to teach people\u00a0about the importance of action and to support our vision to have a world where everyone\u00a0has a decent place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n CaptionCube, a social enterprise that provides captioning services to convert speech into\u00a0text, is also an early adopter Partner of Happi. Lim Jingjie, Co-founder of CaptionCube, said, \u00a0\u201dHappi is a great idea because it allows people to shop and browse through interesting new products and do good at the same time! We will use the money Happi gives us to subsidise the costs of captioning services for deaf\/hard of hearing students in Institutes of Higher\u00a0Learning. This helps us deliver on our vision to build a more inclusive and accessible learning\u00a0environment.”<\/p>\n For a full list of over 45 Happi Partners, please refer to Appendix 1.<\/p>\n For a full list of over 90 Happi Merchants, please refer to Appendix 2.<\/p>\n -Ends<\/p>\n About Happi Pte.
