Make Change

Appolition is the new mobile app turning spare change into bail money (the app helped bail out dozens of moms in jail this past Mother’s Day). Recognizing that disproportionate discrimination against people of color wreaks havoc on their lives, social engineer and inventor Kortney Ziegler (@FakeRapper) and Tiffany Mikell decided to harness the power of crowdfunding to help those who can’t afford to be bailed out of jail. Donors link credit or debit cards to the revolutionary non-profit app (Appolition.us), authorizing “spare change” to be sent to the bail fund. Supporters can also make one-time donations. Earlier this year, Fast Company recognized Appolition as one of its top 10 Innovative Organizations for Social Good.
