One paperclip. One charity.
Trade a golden paperclip into something worth giving away.
Everyone starts with the same tiny thing. Trade up — a mug, a bike, a caravan — post every step with a photo, and when you can't climb higher, give it to the charity.

How it works
Start at the bottom
Sign up and you're handed a golden paperclip worth a few cents. Name the charity you're trading for.
Trade and post
Every swap gets a photo and a story. We estimate what you're holding so the whole climb is visible.
Give it away
When you've climbed as high as you can, hand it over and celebrate it in the Hall of Good.
