Millie offers multiple ways to fund your nonprofit donations, depending on how you prefer to give. Below is a quick overview of each option.
1️⃣ Credit Card (Pay Per Donation)
You can link a credit card to your Millie wallet and donate directly to a nonprofit at the time of submission.
How it works:
- Your card is charged immediately when you submit a donation
- Funds are sent directly to the nonprofit
- If your company offers matching, a match request is triggered automatically
This is the simplest option if you prefer to give as you go.
2️⃣ Upload Funds to Your Millie Wallet
You can upload funds to your Millie wallet using a credit card and then distribute those funds throughout the year.
How it works:
- You upload a lump sum into your Millie wallet
- The upload is tax-deductible at the time of funding
- Future donations pull from your Millie wallet balance (instead of charging your card each time)
This option is ideal if you want to:
- Plan your giving in advance
- Make multiple donations without repeated card charges
- Front-load your charitable tax deduction
3️⃣ Gift Card Balance (Employer or Peer Gifted Funds)
Your employer or a peer may gift you funds that sit in your Millie wallet.
How it works:
- Funds are tax-deductible to the original purchaser
- The balance appears in your Millie wallet
- You can distribute these funds to nonprofits of your choice
⚠️ Important: Company matches do not apply to donations made using gifted funds.
4️⃣ Payroll Giving (If Enabled by Your Company)
If your company offers payroll giving, you can elect to contribute recurring donations directly from your paycheck.
How it works:
- You set your recurring donation inside Millie
- Contributions are triggered on the 5th of each month
- The amount is deducted from a subsequent paycheck by your employer
- You can adjust, pause, or cancel at any time directly within Millie
This option is great for consistent, recurring giving without needing to manage payment manually.
