Budge is making a social mobile game out of charitable giving. The New York company has created a iPhone app that is a “microdonation platform” and makes it fun and simple to donate to charity. You can challenge your friends, saying you will donate to a charity if they do something like wear pink socks to the office or cook you dinner.
