About giving on this platform

3
What is this fundraising platform?

This platform (powered by Infaque) helps nonprofits raise funds online. You can:

Donate to causes, campaigns, and projects
Set up monthly or daily recurring gifts (when offered)
Buy tickets to fundraising events
Submit pledges during campaigns or live events
Sign in to view giving history, manage subscriptions, and download tax receipts
Receive confirmations, receipts, and updates from the organization

Each nonprofit has its own branded site, forms, and settings. What you see depends on how that organization configured their account.

Who receives my donation?

Your gift goes to the nonprofit whose page or form you used. Payment is processed through their connected providers (such as Stripe or PayPal). Tips or “cover processing fee” amounts follow that organization’s fee settings if you opt in.

Is this the same as giving on the nonprofit’s old website?

Often their donate button, QR code, or embed opens this platform’s donation form. The look may differ, but the gift is still for that organization. Check for their logo, name, and support email on the form.

Account, sign-in & profile

9
Do I need an account to donate?

No, not usually. Most forms let you give as a guest with name, email, and payment details.

An account is useful if you want to:

See all past contributions in one place
Manage or cancel monthly / daily giving
Download or create tax receipts
View event tickets and update guest lists
Update name/address used on receipts
Manage email preferences

After buying event tickets as a guest, you may be invited to finish sign-in with an email link so you can access tickets later.

How do I create an account or sign in?

On the login page you typically have three options (availability can vary):

1.Email magic link (passwordless) — Enter your email → Send link → open the email → click the link. You’ll see: “Magic link sent! Check your email to complete login.”
2.Google — Choose Access with Google and pick your account.
3.Email and password — Use “Use password instead,” enter email and password (minimum 6 characters), then Sign in. Switch back with “Use email link instead.”

The page title usually looks like: “Access your {Organization Name} account.”

What’s the difference between a magic link and a password?
Magic link: Signs you in without a password. Sent to your email; used once or for a limited time.
Password: Lets you sign in directly on the site. Useful if magic links are blocked by your email provider.

You can usually switch between both methods on the login screens.

I didn’t get my magic link / sign-in email. What should I do?
1.Wait 1–2 minutes — delivery can be delayed.
2.Check Spam, Junk, Promotions, and Updates folders.
3.Confirm you typed the correct email address.
4.Request a new link from the login page.
5.Try Google or password login if available.
6.If nothing works, contact the organization’s support email on their website or donation form.
How do I reset a forgotten password?

On the email/password login screen, click Forgot password?. Enter your email and follow the link to set a new password. If you only used magic links or Google, you may not have a password — use those methods instead, or set one via the reset flow if offered.

Common sign-in errors — what do they mean?
No account found — Check the email spelling, or donate/sign up first so an account can be created.
Incorrect password — Reset password or use magic link / Google.
Too many failed attempts — Wait and try again later, or use magic link.
Account disabled — Contact the organization or platform support.
How do I update my personal profile?

Sign in → Settings. Update your donor profile details. For name or address on tax receipts, use the link on the Tax Receipts page.

How do I log out?

Open the donor sidebar/menu and choose Logout. On shared devices, always log out when finished.

Can I use the same email for donations and login?

Yes — and you should. One email keeps contributions, receipts, tickets, and subscriptions under the same account. If you donated with a different email, sign in with that email or ask the organization to merge your records.

Finding where to give

4
How do I find active campaigns or causes?

Depending on the site you may see:

An Active campaigns browse page
Individual campaign pages (story, goal, progress)
Cause / project pages
An organization landing page
Direct donate links or embedded forms on their main website

Use links from emails, social posts, QR codes, or their website’s donate button.

What’s the difference between a cause, a campaign, and a donation form?
Cause (fund/project): The broader purpose your gift supports (e.g. Education, Emergency Relief).
Campaign: A specific fundraising story or drive, often with a goal, timeline, and updates.
Donation form: The checkout where you choose amount, enter details, and pay. Forms can be general or tied to a specific cause/campaign.

Exact names (“Cause,” “Project,” “Campaign”) may be customized by the organization.

Can I donate from a QR code or an embed on another website?

Yes. QR codes and embeds open the same donation experience (sometimes without the site header). Complete the steps as usual. UTM tracking in the URL helps the organization know which channel brought you — it doesn’t change your payment.

Can I donate on my phone?

Yes. Forms work on mobile and desktop. Apple Pay / Google Pay may appear on supported devices when the organization uses Stripe wallets.

Making a donation

14
How do I make a one-time donation?

Typical steps:

1.Donation — Choose what you’re giving to (if asked), select One Time, pick a suggested or custom amount, optionally add tip / cover processing fee.
2.Details — Enter email and any required fields (name, phone, address, business name, marketing opt-in, etc.).
3.Payment — Choose card, bank, PayPal, or wallet as offered, then pay.
4.Confirmation — See the thank-you screen and watch for a confirmation email (often within 30 minutes; check spam if delayed).

Some forms use a shorter Donation → Payment flow.

What information will I be asked for?

Depends on the form. Common fields:

Email (almost always)
Name (sometimes required)
Phone (sometimes required; use international format if prompted, e.g. +1-555-555-5555)
Address (street, city, state/province, country, postal/zip) — often needed for receipts
Business name — if giving on behalf of a company
Email / marketing opt-in — “I agree to receive updates and communications.”
Donation purpose — if they collect designations
For daily giving: start date, end date, and sometimes a time

Required fields are marked; you can’t proceed until they’re filled.

What donation amounts can I choose?

Organizations set suggested amounts (sometimes with impact statements). You can usually enter a custom amount. There is often a minimum donation (exact amount set by the organization). If you’re under the minimum, you’ll see a warning.

What does “Cover processing fee” mean?

Payment processors charge fees. Many forms show an optional checkbox like: “I will cover processing fee of {amount}.” If you check it, that amount is added so more of your gift can reach the nonprofit. This is optional unless the organization configures otherwise. On recurring gifts it may appear as Platform Charges.

What is “Convert to monthly” or “Donate monthly” after a one-time gift?

Some forms invite you to give monthly instead of once. You’ll see buttons like Donate monthly and Keep One-Time. Choosing monthly starts a recurring subscription.

Can I give in a different currency?

If multi-currency is enabled, you can select another currency. The system converts using current rates into the organization’s base currency. The amount you authorize is based on that conversion at donation time.

What payment methods are available?

Depends on the organization. You may see:

Card (credit/debit via Stripe)
Apple Pay / Google Pay (when supported on your device/browser)
Bank transfer / ACH (some bank options may be limited to certain currencies, e.g. USD)
PayPal (one-time or subscription, when connected)

If a method doesn’t appear, that organization hasn’t enabled it.

Is my card information safe?

Yes. Card and wallet payments are handled by established processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal). Never send full card numbers by email to staff.

Will I get a receipt or confirmation email?

Yes in most cases:

An on-screen confirmation (often “Thank you for contributing”)
A contribution confirmation email from the organization

Email may take up to 30 minutes — check spam/junk if you don’t see it. You can often request a tax receipt on the confirmation screen and update receipt details after giving.

What can I do on the thank-you / confirmation screen?

Depending on settings, you may:

Confirm you want a contribution/tax receipt and enter address details
Indicate you’re donating as a business and enter a business name
Add a tribute (in honor of / in memory of), optionally notify someone by email
Leave feedback, a rating, and “how did you hear about us?”
Share on social (if enabled)
Follow a redirect back to the organization’s site

My payment failed. What should I do?

1.Confirm card number, expiry, CVC, and billing address.
2.Ensure sufficient funds and that your bank isn’t blocking the charge.
3.Try another card or payment method.
4.For recurring gifts, check for a payment failure email and update your method.
5.Contact the organization with the approximate time and email used — do not send full card numbers by email.
I started a donation but didn’t finish. Was I charged?

No. You’re charged only after a successful payment. The organization may send an abandoned donation reminder — that is not a charge.

Can I donate anonymously?

On pledge forms there is often a Pledge anonymously option (name hidden on public pages and live screens). For standard donations, public recognition depends on the organization. Your identity is still stored for processing, receipts, and records. Contact them if you need public recognition withheld.

Can I dedicate a gift in someone’s honor or memory?

Yes, when the tribute section is enabled. Choose Honor of or Memory of, enter a name, and optionally send a notifying email with a personal message.

Can I donate on behalf of a business?

Yes, when the business option is shown. Enter the business name so records and receipts can reflect the organization.

Monthly giving

5
How does monthly giving work?

When you choose Monthly (or convert from one-time):

Your payment method is saved for recurring charges
You’re charged on the subscription schedule
You receive setup/confirmation emails (and update/cancel emails when those events happen)
Under Contributions → Contribution Settings you can see amount, platform charges, total, and next billing date
Where do I see my monthly subscription?

Sign in → Contributions → Contribution Settings. If active, you’ll see the subscribed fundraiser(s) and payment summary.

How do I change my monthly amount or tip?

In Contribution Settings, use Edit (when available) to adjust amount/tip, then save. You should receive an update email. If Edit isn’t available, contact the organization.

How do I cancel my monthly donation?
1.Sign in → Contributions → Contribution Settings
2.Click Cancel Subscription
3.Confirm — cancellation takes effect immediately
4.Wait for the process to finish
5.You should receive a cancel-subscription confirmation email

Past billing history remains available for your records.

What if I can’t find Cancel Subscription?
Sign in with the same email used for the monthly gift
Check you’re looking at the correct cause/fundraiser
Contact the organization with your email, approximate start date, and amount

Daily giving

4
What is daily giving?

Daily giving (when enabled) lets you schedule gifts that run every day between a start and end date (and optionally a specific time). On the form you may see Donate daily, start/end dates, and a scheduled contribution summary.

How is daily giving different from monthly?
Monthly: Once per month; ongoing until cancelled; cancel stops future monthly charges immediately.
Daily: Once per day in the schedule window; start–end range; cancel stops the schedule and pending daily payments.
How do I cancel daily giving?

Sign in → Contributions → Contribution Settings → Cancel Daily Giving Subscription. Confirm the dialog. Success message: “Your daily giving subscription has been cancelled successfully.”

Will I get emails about daily giving?

Yes — organizations can send daily subscription and cancel daily subscription emails when those events occur.

Tax receipts

6
Will I receive an official tax receipt?

Only if:

1.The organization is set up as a registered charity with receipt settings configured
2.Your contribution has a tax-eligible amount greater than zero (some gifts or parts of event tickets may not be fully eligible)
3.Receipt creation has been completed for that gift

Rules differ by country. When unsure, contact the organization.

Where do I find and download my tax receipts?

Sign in → Tax Receipts. You’ll see name, total amount, eligible amount, contribution date, and address. Types may include Donation Contribution and Event Contribution. Use Download when ready, or Create Tax Receipt when allowed for eligible gifts.

What fiscal year do receipts use?

Receipts follow the organization’s fiscal year settings (helper text often references January 1–December 31, but the org can configure a different range). Follow what’s shown on your receipts page and PDF.

How do I fix a wrong name or address on a receipt?

On Tax Receipts, use the prompt to update your name or address, then regenerate/download. If a receipt was already issued incorrectly, contact the organization for an updated receipt.

Why don’t I see any receipts?

Common reasons:

No eligible contributions yet
Organization is not a registered charity in platform settings
Tax-eligible amount is zero for those gifts
You’re signed in with a different email than the one used to give
Receipts are issued later in bulk/annually by the organization
Can the charity send me one combined (bulk) receipt?

Yes. Admins can issue bulk contribution receipts for eligible donors. Ask the organization if they provide annual or bulk receipts.

Your contributions dashboard

3
What will I see on my donor dashboard?

After sign-in, the Dashboard typically summarizes giving by cause/project, shows event tickets, and lists recent activity.

How do I browse my contribution history?

Go to Contributions. You can often filter by:

Fundraising (all / specific causes, campaigns, events)
Time: This Month | This Year | Last Year | All Periods
Online vs onsite events (when events are enabled)

You may select contributions and use Edit Receipt or Download Receipt when available.

What if I have no contributions yet?

You’ll see an empty-state message. Use Donate / the organization’s donate link to make your first gift.

Events & tickets

6
How do I find and register for an event?

Open Events, choose an event (upcoming/completed, online/onsite filters may apply), read the event page, then start ticket purchase.

How does ticket purchase work?
1.Select tickets — Choose tickets and/or packages. Early-bird pricing and capacity may be shown. Apply a coupon if you have one.
2.Billing details — Email, name, and phone are typically required. Review order summary.
3.Payment — Pay by card or wallet. If a coupon makes the total free, card entry may not be required.
4.Thank you — Confirmation screen; email may take up to 30 minutes. Guests may complete passwordless sign-in to access tickets.
What can I do after buying tickets?

You may request a detailed receipt, enter business details, update your guest list, and leave feedback. Keep your confirmation email for entry. Organizers can verify tickets at the door.

Where do I see my tickets later?

Sign in → Dashboard (tickets card) and/or ticket confirmation. Also check your event ticket confirmation email.

Can I get a refund for tickets?

Refund policies are set by the organizing nonprofit. Contact them with your order email, event name, and purchase date.

What if I abandon ticket checkout?

You won’t be charged. The organization may send an abandoned event reminder email.

Pledges

3
What is a pledge?

A pledge is a promise to donate (amount + date), often used during campaigns or live fundraising. You submit now; the organization may remind you later to complete payment.

How do I submit a pledge?

Open the pledge form link. Typically enter:

Email, pledge date (on or after today), and amount (required)
Optional: name, phone, address, short description
Optional: Pledge anonymously (hides your name on public pages and live screens)

You’ll see a thank-you confirming the amount and date, and that they’ll remind you to complete your donation. Status stays pending until paid or refused.

Will I get pledge reminders?

Yes — organizations can send pledge reminder emails. Complete payment using the link or instructions they provide.

Live fundraising

2
What is a live fundraiser page?

A public page used during galas, telethons, or streamed events to show progress in real time — goal, totals, optional leaderboard, recent activity, and QR code. You may tap Donate or Pledge (pledge only if the organizer linked a pledge group).

Does my name appear on the live leaderboard?

If you donate or pledge with your name visible, you may appear on public/live displays. Use anonymous pledge options when available, or ask the organizer about recognition preferences.

Emails, newsletters & privacy

5
What emails might I receive?

Examples:

Contribution confirmation
Monthly subscription setup, update, or cancellation
Daily subscription setup or cancellation
Payment failure notices
Event ticket confirmation
Abandoned donation / abandoned event reminders
Updated receipts / bulk contribution receipts
Pledge reminders
Newsletters and updates (if you opted in)
Responses related to Report an issue
How do I subscribe to the newsletter?

Use the organization’s newsletter page: enter email (and sometimes name) → Subscribe. You can also opt in on donation forms via “I agree to receive updates and communications.”

How do I unsubscribe from marketing emails?

Click Unsubscribe in the email. You’ll still receive transaction and support emails about your account. You can manage preferences further from account settings when signed in.

How is my personal data used?

To process donations and tickets, issue confirmations/receipts, prevent fraud, and (if you opt in) send updates. Read the organization’s Privacy Policy and Terms.

How do I report a problem or bug?

Use the floating Report an issue button (may be hidden on embedded forms). Enter your email and description. You can also email the organization’s support address.

Donor troubleshooting

4
I donated but don’t see it in Contributions.
Wait a few minutes and refresh
Sign in with the exact email used at checkout
Check filters (time period, cause)
Confirm payment succeeded (bank/PayPal/Stripe receipt)
Contact the organization with date, amount, and email
I was charged twice.

Contact the organization immediately with timestamps and amounts. Check whether one charge is a tip/fee vs the gift, or a monthly charge plus a one-time gift.

Can I change which campaign a past gift went to?

Donors generally cannot reassign past gifts themselves. Ask the organization — admins can update details in some cases.

The page looks broken or won’t load payment fields.

Try another browser, disable aggressive ad blockers for the payment domain, allow cookies, and update the browser. On mobile, try the default browser. Report the issue with device/browser details if it continues.
