Humble Bundle now lets you choose your own charity

Humble Bundle, Inc. has been humbly bundling games with charities for five years now. Before, the money spent with Humble Bundle would be split evenly towards the charities involved, but now they've made it so customers can pick which charity they'd like to donate to.

Humble Bundle has been a great place to get games on the cheap and help people at the same time. For those unaware, When anything is bought from the Humble Store, a portion goes to the developers of the game purchased, a small portion goes to Humble Bundle themselves, and the final portion goes to charity. The percentages could even be changed, so users could choose to give more of their purchase to the charities than the default split.

Before, the amount to charity itself was split five ways to different charities. As Humble Bundle grew, more charities partnered with them. Now, with over 35,000 charities according to Humble Bundle themselves, they've made it so users can choose to donate to the charities of their choice. If users are unaware or don't care which charities get their money, Humble Bundle will still chose for them.

To this day, the Humble Store, their a la cart store, has raised $3 million for charity alone. $60 million has been raised from bundle events which feature a certain amount of games bundled together for a price the user picks.
