Topic closed The Front • MacHeist 3 Charity Breakdown
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. 
It feels good to be a part of something like this...

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.
Excellent, thanks to the MacHeist team for all of their effort

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.
