In the Auto-Donate field you can enable to donate on all transactions, on 75%, 50%, or 25% of all transactions while using Freewallet. \
\
You can also pick the specific Counterparty Fund you would like to donate to under the “Cause” dropdown menu. Lastly you can choose exactly how much BTC will be donated each time ADS is used.

If you wonder where donated funds go, check out current and future [Counterparty Improvement Proposals](https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/cips) which is the main focus of the community for received donations. \
