With just over two days left I wanted to make sure that I put this out to our Mac visitors as I’m a supporter of charitable causes. The MacHeist is on again this year and there are some very nice apps included this time. For those of you who might not be aware as to what MacHeist might be it’s a bundle of software for Macs that is offered as a bundle at a steep discount. The (very positive) catch is that 25% of the proceeds goes to charity. You can choose to have your purchase count to one charity or to be evenly distributed to all as I did. Here is the list of the charities that are benefiting from this endeavour.
Action Against Hunger
AIDS Research Alliance
Alliance for Climate Protection
Direct Relief International
Humane Society International
The Nature Conservancy
Save the Children
Save Darfur
Prevent Cancer Foundation
World Wildlife Fund
About MacHeist:
The MacHeist bundle was introduced last December, 2006, to huge success within the Macintosh community. The software bundle offered 10 of the Mac indie development community’s best offerings, and was available at the end of the MacHeist promotion for one week.
The bundle was called the greatest Mac software deal in history, and has never been available since then. Customers snapped up over 16,000 copies, and donated 25% of their purchase to various charities.
After over $190,000 was raised by customers by the end of the sale, MacHeist topped it off and $200,000 was raised in total.
This year MacHeist has raised $275,628 so far. Get in on the heist.
