When making a donation on Giving Madness, the donation (minus the credit card fees) go directly to our donor-advised fund partner the Givinga Foundation (EIN: 47-4172718). Utilizing a donor-advised fund ensures the donation is always considered a donation, allows tax-deductible eligibility, and gives the donor the opportunity to create a mini donor-advised fund, doing all their giving in one place. Givinga Foundation then makes monthly donations to the nonprofits via check (or electronic payment if they opt in).
If your nonprofit is in our database, company’s will automatically be able to include you in their giving brackets. However, we strongly encourage nonprofit administrations to claim their organization and fill out their profiles with additional information (videos, statistics, anecdotes). This creates a more engaging voting and selection process for companies that may be interested in supporting your cause.
After a bracket is complete, nonprofits will see donations made via brackets on their dashboard, detailing which company donated to them.
No. Stripe does charge typical credit card fees of 2.2% + 30 cents on donations and takes an additional 1% credit card fee. But, we do not not charge nonprofits to be included in Giving Madness.
Unfortunately, we do not allow a live tracking of company brackets. However, after a Giving Madness program is run, nonprofits will see donations made via brackets on their dashboard, detailing which company donated to them.
We pull each nonprofit’s financial data directly from the IRS. If you believe we do not have the most updated information from the IRS, please contact us at nonprofits@givingmadness.com for support.
