Donate
You can support the causes that are important to you by donating to campaigns, nonprofits, and impact funds.
Donation opportunities are as unique as their donors. Because campaigns are fully customizable in Philanthropy Cloud, their individual look and feel may vary. While their tailored options and wording may differ based on how they were created, your impact is the same.
In some cases, you can donate and volunteer as part of the same campaign. For these joint giving and volunteering campaigns, the campaign name and information is displayed on both the campaign page and on the volunteering opportunity page for easy reference.
You can donate using the available payment methods, such as credit card, payroll, bonus payroll, cash/check, or stock options. Based on the campaign customizations, you may be able to donate to specific nonprofits and/or impact funds or to any of them. For example, a campaign may offer several impact funds that you can give to, and you may also be able to allocate amounts among them. There may also be a confirmation page where you can verify or change your selections, including the amount, distribution, recipients, and payment method before your donation is made.
You can customize your profile to personalize your Philanthropy Cloud experience. Personalized recommendations display on your Philanthropy Cloud Homepage based on the skills and causes you select in your profile page, as well as based on your location and engagement history.
Note: Because campaigns are fully customizable in Philanthropy Cloud, their individual look and feel may vary.
