Frequently Asked Questions
AllGives is a shopping tool that empowers you to make a positive impact with your everyday spending. When you shop through our site, we receive a commission from stores for sending you their way. Instead of keeping this commission, we share it with you and a charity of your choice.
Questions about earning:
Stores give us a commission when you shop through our portal. We pass most of this commission on to you as cash back and allow you to keep it for yourself or donate it to one of our partner charities at a higher rate.
Simply click the store links on our website to visit our partner stores, then shop like normal. Cash back will automatically be added to your account, typically within 2-3 business days.
This varies by store – you can reference the specific terms on the store’s page of our site for details. Generally any percent back offers are calculated on your order’s subtotal. So if we are offering 10% cash back at a store, you would earn $10 back on a purchase of $100 (excluding taxes and fees).
It varies by store, but you should generally receive an email notifying you about your cash back within 3 days. Please fill out our contact form if it has been more than 10 business days since your purchase and you haven’t been notified.
The cash back credits will be deducted from your account.
Redeeming cash back:
There are some exceptions, but generally each dollar of cash back earned on our site is worth one dollar if you keep it for yourself or worth $2 if you donate it to one of our partner charities.
You need to have at least $20 in your account to redeem – that’s worth $20 cash back or $40 if you choose to donate to charity! Head to the “Earnings” tab of your account to submit a withdrawal.
Visit the “Earnings” tab under your account menu to withdraw your cash back using PayPal or to donate it to charity.
While some charitable contributions are tax deductible, AllGives is unable to provide tax advice or determine if your contributions through our service are tax deductible. Please consult with a tax professional or accountant for any tax related questions.
We tend to offer 5-10 charity donation options at a time. To see the current list, visit our homepage and scroll down to the section “Support Impactful Charities”. When a user cashes out via PayPal, we donate $1 for every $10 redeemed to one of our featured charities (typically our charity of the month).
How to use the site:
Yes! There are five simple rules to follow:
- Make sure you verified your email using the link we sent when you signed up.
- We work best on Chrome and Edge. To use Safari, follow these instructions on how to make your settings compatible.
- Review the specific terms on each store’s page on our site before you shop.
- Don’t leave the store’s site between clicking our link and making a purchase.
- Ensure you don’t use privacy or ad block extensions.
No, we are a strictly online shopping platform for now, though we may update this in the future.
If you found them on the store’s site itself then often times yes. However, we cannot guarantee you will earn cash back properly.
