  • Made a secure online donation to a friend’s fundraising page who is raising money for a nonprofit
  • Paid an event registration fee to participate in a nonprofit’s event

Can I get a receipt for tax purposes?

Once your donation has processed, you’ll receive an e-mail confirming this, which you can print for your records.
However, only your accountant can advise you on the deductibility of your donation.

My company provides matching gifts, what do I need to do?

When you receive an email confirming that your donation has been processed successfully, ask your Human Resources department for their matching gift form. The information in your email receipt should help you fill it out, and you can also contact the nonprofit for more information. Contact us if you need more information.

This hasn’t helped me - what now?

If you still have questions about the charge on your card, please feel free to contact us – we’re happy to help.
