Hey everyone! Reporting back here to share details on how the charity portion of the recent MacHeist nanoBundle event went. Here's how you guys decided to split your donations to our partnering charities this year:

(Note: Close to half of you guys decided to split your $5 donation evenly. These donations are already factored in the list below.)

Clinton Bush Haiti Fund: $55,565
Save the Children: $50,360
World Wildlife Fund: $50,160
Prevent Cancer Foundation: $47,725
AIDS Research Alliance: $41,435
The Nature Conservancy: $38,460
Direct Relief International: $34,530
Humane Society International: $33,525
Action Against Hunger: $33,020
Save Darfur: $29,865
Alliance for Climate Protection: $25,355

Total: $440,000

Months after you've purchased your bundle, your money will be slowly but efficiently used to help brighten the world, thanks to your participation and the hard work of our partnering charities.

For past reference/comparison:
MacHeist 3 Charity Breakdown
MacHeist II Charity Breakdown*
Charity Breakdown (MacHeist 1)
*There was also the MacHeist 2 'retail' bundle which netted over $50,000 in additional donations

There may be only one thing even more incredible than this achievement by the MacHeist community: including this event's haul, we have now raised over 2 million dollars for some truly worthwhile efforts since MacHeist 1. So thank you everyone for making this awesome accomplishment possible!

Not bad for a nanoBundle

You guys are very cool. I look forward to the next nanoBundle charity event. Thanks for doing what you do!!!

It's good to see where our money is going. Hope they will spend it well & wise.

That is fantastic! Proud to be a part.

sweet!

Very cool, I'm so glad MacHeist is here to do this!

not bad..

Glad to help.  This is awesome and worthwhile even though I hardly ever use any of the programs...  It's just cool to do...

I love MacHeist. Those are some pretty good donations to charities. Excellent!

awesome job guys

The more you know, the more you know how little you know.

I'm glad to have participated. It was my first MacHeist, and I really wish I'd had the good timing to participate in earlier ones. As I said on Facebook, if I ever actually finish a piece of software, I'd be honored to participate in it from the other side.

Good job, guys!

Can't wait to see what the next bundle will bring us. Mac users untie!!... errr... unite!

Sweet. Glad a lot is going to Haiti. Hope it helps a lot of people.

Honoured to be a part of this event and appreciate all the effort from MacHeist and developers involved. Thank you!

Not bad at all guys.  I'm glad I was able to participate (and reap these wonderful benefits).  Keep up the great work!

Very happy. Good work all!

wow this is pretty awesome macheist. brilliantly awesome that we get some stuff to tinker around with and people that really need assistance get some relief as well. kudos to spreading the money around

awesome job!

Amazing!  I am proud and grateful to have participated.

awesome job guys! thanks so much for what you do!

awesome job guys and looking forward to the next problem to work on.  keep up the fine work......

RVing is great

Great job Mac Heist, glad to be a part of this group!!!

very nice. glad to have participated.

Excellent! Nice to see that the nanoBundle will be benefitting the world significantly in so many other ways besides just the worthy cause of providing great software to mac users.

Keep up the great work MacHeist!!

Wonderful to see $25k wasted on climate bullshit. Might as well have been donating to the "50,000 iPads for EricAnderson" fund.

NICE!

What a ridiculous attitude to have. You're free to feel how you do about it, but it's asinine to forsake the people who chose to contribute to this cause (which I happen to feel is important).

Again, like Marcello, I found myself on my knees in the cold sands of a desolate beach, dizzy and ill from a year of trouble and strife.

Hi,

I am a Economy Student and really admire your marketing and business model
Keep it up!

Best regards
Voi

Bjørn Lomborg can be proud..

Money from the undecided: Total * 0.5 / 11 = $440,000 * 0.5 / 11 = $20,000.

So $5.400 went 'on purpose' to climate change protection, versus $35.500 to protecting people (in Haiti).

Edit: I'm rather ambivalent on Bjørn's economist stance, and I'm not calling anybody names.. Just noticing the money spending trend (again).

Excellent! Would love to have the organisations above linked to see who's behind the names! Can you add the links?

That's great! I hope it's of good help for them.

Great to be a part of this event, seems like it did pretty well for a nano bundle.  I know i'll be coming back for future events!

The Nature Conservancy: $38,460
World Wildlife Fund: $50,160

Glad to see these 2 did well

Thanks to everyone at MacHeist that made this bundle possible.

I have a place where dreams are born,
and time is never planned. It's not on any chart,
you must find it with your heart.
Never Never Land...

It's so fascinating that we can actually help someone in this kind of way.

Thank you for the chance!
