Abstract
A method of funding comprises a purchase being made by a user, wherein funding is incurred as a result of the purchase being made by the user, wherein there is a first level of funding, and a second level of funding, wherein: for the first level of funding, funding is dispersed to at least one cause not chosen by the user; and for the second level of funding, funding is dispersed to at least one cause selectable by the user, as a cause for second level funding, at a time prior to, and a location other than, where and when the purchase is made; wherein the second level of funding partially or wholly overrides the first level of funding, a portion or a whole of the first level of funding being directed to the second level of funding, instead of the first level of funding. If, for the first level of funding, there are a plurality of causes not chosen by the user, there may be provided a cause choice for the user, to choose at least one cause out of the plurality of causes, for funding.
