This year's final tally of $850,000 raised for our participating charities sets a new record for MacHeist.

Just like previous years, we offered you a choice of where your money would go. This is how it broke down (each sum rounded to the nearest dollar, numbers adjusted/finalized to account for resolved overcharges):

Save the Children: $118,031
Prevent Cancer Foundation: $112,043
World Wildlife Fund: $93,850
AIDS Research Alliance: $87,686
The Nature Conservancy: $83,581
Save Darfur: $79,278
Action Against Hunger: $77,121
Humane Society International: $74,091
Direct Relief International: $65,749
Alliance for Climate Protection: $58,572

MacHeist (to top it off): $10,455 (split evenly)

Total: $850,000

We kid about saving the world on our homepage, but over the year, your donations (an astronomical sum during times when donations are running thin) will be spent on slowly but surely making this world a better and brighter place.

Now, until we bust this record again the next time, give yourselves a pat on your back. You deserve it.

dude that's awesome.... glad to throw in and glad there's that much going for good causes.

get some

It feels great. Knowing only $40 a person was enough to raise that much money for charity.

Wow! Kudos to macHeist!

Being a small part of MacHeist always felt good; with this news it feels great.  Thank you for giving us the chance to be a part of this.

you could teach some non-profits a thing or two.  many have oh of >5%.

well done.

BLARG!!

I love it. I am using several of the bundled apps with success.

I think you are quite inspired. Your method may become a
new model for software distribution. it certainly has breathed
some fresh air into my application folder!

I am eagerly looking forward to your next offering!

Thanks for the software, the savings, and the charitable
outlook.

Joking apart. Good job everybody!

Well done

what a coincidence, somehow ORANGE is one of my favourite colours.

Great to see the figures - awesome job all!

Btw Phill the link to "Save the children" seems wrong.

I am not an agent in real life, only on weekends!

Phill, Just a thought for next year. Perhaps you could find some one to match the MH donation next time I know often times this happens in charitable situations. But you could be looking at 2-3 million for charity with a large matching donation. If I had the money I'd do it. Apple might me a good place to start.

Hmmm, bundle closes Tues. night, blooper video Wed. night, and charity breakdown Thurs. night.  I guess that means we have to wait until Friday for the points explanation?

Now that that's out of the way, it is really awesome to see so much going to charity.  But I would buy the bundles if they didn't, so it's just a bonus.  I don't really feel like I participated in that though.  I bought the bundle because I wanted the apps at a screamin' good price.  It's MacHeist that donated part of their proceeds to charity.  I just bought a bundle.

Is the link of Save the Children wrong?

Great job

It really is great to be apart of something more than just buying software and something more than just throwing money at charity.  This is a great mix and an even better business model.  Gratz guys!

Awesome....

Any chance that we'll be able to donate to Child's Play next year? I think a lot of people would probably choose that (or at least be glad that it's there), seeing as we're more likely to be techie people who like video games... maybe it's just me, but I think it'd be cool to be able to donate to them next year.

What is even more amazing was, remember, it was 25% of the bundle price, so that meant $10 or $8 per person, depending on whether you had discounts from doing the Heists.

The breakdown among the charities is also quite interesting - all worthwhile causes but I'm especially happy to see investment in our future generations through the children.

Glad to be part of the experience. Great job everyone!

I'm so glad with the software I purchased in the bundle, and so happy to see that it is even more worth it because of the charity program, that I can only say I love Macheist! Good job guys!

I was going to suggest this. I think it would be a great option, but might would garner some criticism.

Fixed. Thanks.

What would we make if we were allowed to donate our discount as a charity bonus?!!! I would certainly do that.

Such an awesome thing to be part of, although part of me still feels odd when I think how well I did out of it at the same time! Leaves me scratching my head somewhat, sort of eating my cake and giving it to someone else at the same time!!

The Optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds, the Pessimist fears this is true.

Kudos to all the developers who helped make this possible.  Look forward to the next!

That is pretty amazing. I'm glad I got to be a part of it.

I was hoping for a link to NAMBLA or something.  darn it if he did not fix that link.

BLARG!!

Wow, what a great amount raised. Kudos to everyone who bought.
Thank you guys for coming up with such a great way to get software, give back and make new friends

Looking forward to the next one!

i think everybody should like everybody

Well done, everyone!

Those who laugh at you for you having a Mac, are the people who constantly call you to fix their PC

A deep discount on awesome mac apps, AND we get to help do our part to make a positive contribution to the world
