One Today by Google is Shutting Down

[Rob]

I just got this E-Mail from the team at "One Today by Google":

Hello,
We have an important update to share with you.

We launched Google One Today seven years ago to help people donate to causes they care about. In the last few years, we have seen donors choose other products to fundraise for their favorite nonprofits.

As a result, we will shut down One Today on February 6th, 2020.

New nonprofits will no longer be able to sign up for One Today. The Google One Today app will be turned off, and any open projects will be deleted. We will ensure that 100% of funds donated on One Today prior to February 6th are disbursed to the relevant nonprofits.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the One Today team.

Thank you for your donations and partnership.

It was an awesome app for charities. Not only to for charities to raise money and awareness, but also for purpose driven people to learn about issues affecting their community and the world.

Was anyone else a "One Today" user? Admittedly, I used it early on but haven't in several years. I guess that makes me part of the problem! Sad to see this app disappear but props to the team who put it together and ran it for 7 years.

To my shame, I've never even heard of it.

I used it to give every day for about three years... but must have forgotten to reinstall it following a factory reset at some point so it's been a while since I used it last.

Still sad to see it go. I thought it was a really cool initiative.

Much like @Steven58 and @Unforgiven I had no idea such a thing existed, I probably would have used it.

Same here. I do not use my google drive at all either. Mostly dropbox.
