Your Donations
Thank you for supporting charities in the #GivingTuesdayNow Matching-Fund Initiative. All donations on this site are made to Firespring Foundation. The nonprofit(s) you supported today will receive information about your gift in real time, unless you chose to be Anonymous.
Your contribution is to the Firespring Foundation donor-advised fund (Tax ID 30-0358636), intended for the benefit of the charity you indicated. The Foundation makes every reasonable effort to respect the wishes of its donors. However, to comply with federal tax laws and Internal Revenue Service regulations, the Foundation must retain the exclusive authority, discretion, and legal control over all donated funds. In the rare event that the charity you have advised does not satisfy our criteria or otherwise enable us to pay them (reasons for this include issues like: they don't or cannot accept donations, are not recognized by the IRS as a public charity, or are not in good standing with federal or state regulators, etc.), we may select an alternate charity to receive your donation funds.
Firespring Foundation's standard practice is to regrant 96.1% less $0.30 of a donor-advised contribution to a qualifying tax-exempt entity and/or cause advised by the donor, and to retain 2.9% plus $0.30 for credit card processing expenses and a 1% platform fee. If you chose to cover the fee, which is indicated on your receipt, you can make it possible for charities to receive 100% of the intended amount.
Firespring Foundation's distributions to or for the benefit of your advised charity and/or purpose must not be used for the personal benefit of you, any other donor advisor, or any other purpose conferring impermissible private benefit.
