Frequently asked questions

Not for individual members. Your whole gift goes to the project. Card companies charge a processing fee on every payment, so it’s added at checkout instead of coming out of your gift. That’s the banks, not us, and we don’t keep a cent of it. Tipping DDC is optional. Brand members and gifts of $500 or more include a 10% fee that keeps the club running.

Two things can sit on top of your gift. First, the card processing fee: card companies charge one on every payment, so we pass it on at cost instead of taking it out of your gift. That’s the banks, not us, and we keep none of it. Second, a tip to DDC, only if you choose one. Tips are optional, and “No tip” is always one tap away at checkout. For brand members and gifts of $500 or more nothing is added on top: your total is your gift, and a 10% fee inside it keeps the club running. At checkout, a card issued outside the US costs a little more to process, so it adds an international card fee. You see it as its own line before you give, and none of it goes to DDC.

You betcha. Your gift goes into Dollar Donation Club Fund, a donor-advised fund within Legacy Global, a 501(c)(3).

We built Dollar Donation Club as a result of our own lack of trust in the philanthropic space. That’s why we’ve built a platform that transparently shows you where your money is going, what it’s used for, and if it actually resulted in a measurable impact. To learn more about our vetting process and our vetting partners, click here.

We’ve built a world-class vetting team and partners to help us identify the highest leverage solutions to our gnarliest social impact challenges. All Dollar Donation Club campaigns partner with organizations capable of making measurable and verifiable progress toward checking off goals on Humanity’s Checklist.

Heck yeah they do! Your Points show the amazing amount of good that you have created in the world. Not only that, but you can see yourself on leaderboards and earn badges as you “level up.”

As a brand member, you will have a Donation Tracker on your profile for every campaign you donate to. The Tracker keeps you updated with the progress of how your donation is used and the impact it actually made! No more guessing, "what happened with our donation?"

Yes. This is awesome.
