How are donations processed?
When you donate through Millie, your donation goes to one of our donor-advised fund (DAF) partners:
- U.S. Donations: Percent Impact Foundation (EIN: 87-3165286)
- International Donations: Intelligent Foundation (UK Registered Charity No. 1192508)
Using a DAF allows your donation to be tax-deductible, keeps funds secure, and lets you manage all your giving in one place.
When will my donation be delivered?
Donations are distributed monthly by our DAF partners, usually via electronic payment (or check if needed). Timing depends on whether the nonprofit is onboarded and whether the donation balance reaches $50.
- If the nonprofit is onboarded to Percent Impact Foundation: donations are delivered 15–45 days after reaching $50.
- If not onboarded: it can take 60–90 days from reaching $50.
- If a nonprofit doesn’t reach $50 in 12 months, it will still be paid out at that time.

What if my donation is for an urgent cause?
If your donation is in response to an emergency or time-sensitive event, Percent Impact Foundation can expedite payment via check or electronic transfer.
Are there any fees on donations?
Millie doesn’t charge platform fees, but there are small third-party processing fees:
- Credit card fee (U.S.): 2.2% + 30¢
- International card fee (via Stripe): additional 1%
- Percent Impact Foundation fee: 1.5%
- Company match via ACH: typically ~0.8% + 1.5%
Example: If you donate $100 with a U.S. card to an international nonprofit and request a company match:
- $96.03 goes to the nonprofit from your donation
- $97.70 goes from the employer’s match
- Total delivered: $194.00
Will I get a tax receipt?
Yes. Anytime you donate or add funds to your Millie wallet, you’ll receive an email tax receipt from Percent Impact Foundation (EIN: 87-3165286).
We recommend consulting your tax advisor to confirm deductibility.
Which nonprofits can I donate to?
- U.S. nonprofits: Must be verified 501(c)(3) public charities. We screen against the SPLC Hate Map, and Percent Impact Foundation performs compliance checks.
- International nonprofits: Must be registered charitable orgs in their country. Percent Impact Foundation also conducts verification.
