I'm not sure if what I'm looking for exists, or if it's even possible to build.

I would like to have a central place where I can donate some monthly amount. I set up my profile and say, from my monthly donation, I want x percent to go to this project, y percent to that project, and so on. So instead of setting up some number of donations for all the projects I use and want to support, I have a single donation to support multiple projects.

Is there already a platform like this?

I dont think someone would put the effort into it. You can calculate those values yourself:

Divide 100% into whatever groups you want (60%, 25%, 15%)
Convert percentages to decimals (move the decimal 2 spots to the left: .6, .25, .15)
Multiply the decimal with your total amount to get the portion:

25 * .6 = 15

25 * .25 = 6.25

25 * .15 = 3.75

Chech your work: sum the results together to confirm its the full value:

15 + 6.25 + 3.75 = 25 ☆

Chech your work:

It is rare to see something like this. We have their, there and they're, but there isn't a fourth option.

I typed it up before going to bed. Im glad it was a typo rather than my math being wrong.

We have their, there and they’re, but there isn’t a fourth option.

There’re only three options?

Did you really just explain percentage calculation?

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 days ago

I explained them in the case that OP forgot or didnt learn yet. This is a situation where "when am i gonna use that" applies, and its possible someone may know how to do percentage calculation, but not know how to apply it to a real-world example, or not know that it can be used in this way to divide a value into unequal portions.
