Donating to a charity or non-profit organisation is now possible using voice-based Google Assistant. All you have to do is instruct it with the usual "Ok, Google" command.
Google recently added the feature to its smart assistant and users can instruct the assistant to make a donation with commands such as "donate to a charity" or "make a donation" followed by the charity or organization of their choice and the amount of the donation.
According to Mashable, users can donate to 501(c)(3) public charities in the US. The feature works only if payments feature is enabled by the user. The donation feature is active on several Android and Google Home speakers.
