Frequently Asked Quesitons

Why can’t I find my cause?

There are a few possible reasons:

Different Country: Only causes registered in the same country as the campaign are eligible. For example, a campaign created in the U.S. will only include U.S. causes.
Cause Name Variations: Some causes are registered under a legal or official name that differs from their commonly known name. For example, “St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital” is officially registered as American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities, Inc.
Cause Eligibility: The cause may not be a registered charity, or may no longer be in good standing and lost eligibility.
Cause Filters: Sometimes participating companies may choose to limit the ability to donate to certain causes, preventing them from appearing in the campaign.

Tip: For the most accurate results, try searching using the cause’s official registration number (EIN, Charity Registration Number, or equivalent), which is often listed on the cause’s website.
