Show HN: Humanity Box – Ads that change lives

Nice initiative, please consider adopting IAB standard ad sizes like 300x250, 728x90, 468x60, etc so you can access to more remnant inventory.<p>Right now many ad companies use Greenpeace or Red Cross for serving <i>something</i> when they run out of ads. It shouldn&#x27;t be hard to get some impressions from them, but the standard ad sizes will be a common requirement.<p>Good luck!

&quot;No money ever changes hands with Humanity Box&quot;, but their partner, GiveForward, a for-profit company, seems to charge fees: <a href="http://www.giveforward.com/learn#fees" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.giveforward.com&#x2F;learn#fees</a>.<p>GiveForward&#x27;s remarks defending why they are for-profit: <a href="http://help.giveforward.com/customer/portal/articles/757696-why-isn%E2%80%99t-giveforward-a-non-profit-" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.giveforward.com&#x2F;customer&#x2F;portal&#x2F;articles&#x2F;757696-...</a>

How about one that only runs ads for a true universal healthcare system in America?

Give me a means to host this on my site so that I don&#x27;t share my users&#x27; data and browsing habits with you, and I&#x27;ve got a couple places I&#x27;ll be happy set it up. For example, a similar drop-in chunk of code and script to host locally, along with a cron that I run once daily to fetch the day&#x27;s updates.

This is really great. If you&#x27;re ever interested in expanding into the environmental sector we&#x27;re at the intersection of both environment and community development and would love to chat.<p>luke@rainforestpartnership.org

This is great. You should work to get publishers to donate x% of ad inventory to charity of their choosing. They can then write off the inventory&#x27;s value for tax purposes too.

Project Wonderful has been doing a similar thing for a very long time: <a href="https://www.projectwonderful.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.projectwonderful.com</a>

I think you site is just mock piece for GiveForward. Sort of shill but smart way.<p>Why not mention in direct and bold words that GiveForward is going to charge money to donors ?<p>Free ads is good thing but there goes hidden agenda of making money from people&#x27;s emotion stress.<p>Also why someone should go to giveforward if there are many other alternatives charging less commission.<p>Amount of people encashing on people&#x27;s stress, emotions are increasing dramatically which is not a good thing.

Given that many charities that pay up to 95% of the funds they raise to third party marketing companies, I don&#x27;t think it would be out of line at all to give the sites hosting these ads a cut of the funds they raise. There&#x27;s nothing wrong with offering a win-win proposition, and it would get you more traction.

Awesome! I just added it be the separator between blog posts on <a href="http://dojo4.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dojo4.com&#x2F;blog</a>.<p>Can I see how much our blog helps these causes? It would be cool to get some analytics.

I can&#x27;t express how much I love this idea. This is excellent way to go about it. I hope you will grow as a platform and this can be standard way to be charitable.

it is very inspiring to see that how people are really contributing to pushing humanity forward.<p>Kudos for your work.
