Your attention is worth money. Shouldn't you decide where it goes?
Every ad you see generates real money — money that flows wherever they decide. Forge lets you choose instead. Watch ads you actually want to see, earn 'marks', and direct that money to nonprofits you care about most.
Every. Single. Quarter.

Stupidly simple. Genuinely powerful.
Three steps. Entirely on your terms. Real money to real causes.
01
Watch ads on your terms
Install our Chrome extension or web app and watch short ads when you want, how often you want. You're in control — always.
02
Earn marks. Build power.
Every ad you watch earns 'marks' — your vote in where the money flows. The more you engage, the louder your voice in the quarterly allocation.
03
Point the money at what matters
Each quarter, you direct your marks to the causes you believe in. 80% of net ad revenue goes straight to them — no middlemen, no vague promises.
Only causes that earn it
No pay-to-play. Every nonprofit on Forge is a 501(c)(3) with a four-star Charity Navigator rating. The community — not a committee — decides the top five each quarter.
Ads generate billions for causes every year. None of them are yours.
Google made $265 billion from advertising last year. Meta made $135 billion. Platforms decide where that money goes — their products, their investors, their priorities.
Forge is built on a different premise: the money your attention generates should flow to causes you actually care about. Not an algorithm. Not a boardroom. You.
