Google Will Donate $1 To Education For Every Purchase Made With Android Pay

In an effort to promote Android Pay, Google has decided to go the philanthropic route this holiday season. Pairing up with the education-based nonprofit DonorsChoose.org, the company will donate $1 of any purchase made with Android Pay to special education programs across the U.S.

The promotional, charity-oriented program will run until Dec. 31 of this year, just in time to piggyback on the holiday shopping season, hence the motto " 'tis the season to give back," touted on Android Pay's official press release on the partnership. But then again, it might not be worth it to be such a Scrooge about the matter—as they also point out, around 6.4 million children in the American education system have special needs, so the more help, the merrier.

There is, however, a cap in place for Android Pay and Google's sponsorship: the tech companies will only donate up to $1 million total, even if the promotion has not ended.
